Orthotics for any purpose

Essentially, an orthotic is a hard piece of plastic used to align, straighten or a guide a body part, joint, or muscle into a correct posture on non-painful position. Mainly used to keep joint or alignment problems from worsening, chiropractors occasionally turn to orthotics.
