Insoles and Orthotics
Rather than spending extra money on magnetic products, shop for the insoles or arch supports that give your feet the best relief. There are many varieties including those with foam and gel cushions.For feet that are not relieved by over-the-counter insoles, a custom orthotic may be needed. These need to be prescribed by a physician or podiatrist and fitted by an expert. Medical insurance may cover the cost.
