Leg length discrepancy, or LLD, happens when one leg is shorter than the other. It can be caused by genetics, injury, or uneven bone growth and affects people of all ages. Even mild differences can lead to an uneven gait, back pain, and foot strain as the body compensates for the imbalance. Custom orthotic insoles help to level the discrepancy, improve gait symmetry, and reduce strain on the feet, knees, and hips. Orthotics help distribute weight evenly, ease pain, and prevent long-term joint issues. If you have a leg length discrepancy, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist who can measure your leg length, assess your gait, and design orthotics tailored to your needs. By addressing the imbalance early, you can enjoy better mobility and prevent discomfort from worsening.
