Orthotics are an option for patients who do not want surgery for painful corns on their feet. The speaker describes creating pressure-relieving areas, referred to in the recording as "dispersions." When you walk, these areas are intended to reduce pressure beneath the metatarsal. An orthotic is a device worn inside the shoe for shock absorption. The speaker recommends custom orthotics with these pressure-relieving areas for people seeking a nonsurgical approach to painful corns on the bottom of the foot.
