Orthotics: The easiest initial treatment is foot orthotics. See a podiatrist who has experience in foot biomechanics and prescribes orthotics on a regular basis. Ask for referrals from satisfied patients.

Custom orthotics: Flatfoot conditions, pronation, may cause abnormal stress inthe lower back in 35-40% of the cases...I do not recommend the new scholl inserts...Rxsorbo website has several options and may be a good test, but even those may be temporary...Custom!
