A member asked:
I've just been diagnosed with hyper mobility and flat feet, i have got custom made orthotics. will it correct my arch in my foot and how long. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: It won't "correct", just like glasses don't correct vision, but help us see better. If you use them consistently, they should make your feet feel better.
