What is the difference between accomodative orthotics and functional orthotics?

A functional orthotic is normally made of a firmer material, such as plastic and is designed to realign the foot and body in accordance with range of motion and flexibility. An accommodative orthotic is supporting the foot in its current position. Corey's Bootery has years of experience in both and realizes that each style/type has an appropriate time to be used. Call us today, so our certified pedorthists can evaluate and determine which style/type is right for your feet.
