If orthotics correct your feet and align your body, does it mean it can help support and ease the back pain caused by degenerative disc disease?

Yes! Spinal conditions foot orthotics can help manage back pain caused by non-neurological causes. If you’re having issues with your lower back, have a look at the bottoms of your favorite shoes. You can usually tell your walking pattern by looking at the tread wear. Foot orthotics may help you manage your lower back discomfort if you discover your feet are pronated or supinated. During activities, foot orthotics support the foot and correct incorrect biomechanics such as a misaligned gait. They should, however, be as customly unique as your foot requirements.
