"Choosing" The Correct Orthotic For Runners

As stated in the following article a good orthotic for running is similar to a Jaguar vehicle. If you find the correct model it's heaven, but if you end up with a Pinto, the foot problems not only remain, but could actually get progressively worse. NewGen Orthotics Lab strives to make sure that the patient will always be comfortable in their orthotics, but that they will always be getting better too. Our Direct Milled Orthotic is made thin , but too a EXACTING rigidity as well to make each orthotic "custom" for each patient. Below is a pretty great article from the New York Daily News on what to look for when searching for a running orthotic.
