orthotic
Corrective shoe insert
An orthotic is a device that supports, aligns, or corrects the function of a body part—most commonly a shoe insert designed to address foot problems: The podiatrist prescribed custom orthotics for her flat feet.
Orthotics also include braces, splints, and supports for other joints.
As an adjective, orthotic describes anything relating to such devices: orthotic treatment, orthotic shoes.
