What are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts or devices tailored to an individual's feet to provide support, improve alignment, and alleviate pain. These orthotics are made based on a person's unique foot shape, structure, and any specific medical or functional issues they may have.
Common Conditions Custom Orthotics could Assist with:
- Foot & Toe Pain
- Flat Feet
- Knee Pain
- Morton's Neuroma
- Plantar Fascitis
- Heel Pain
- Postural Imbalances
- Bursitis of the Feet
- Calf Pain
- Hip Pain
What Custom Orthotics can do for you
1. Improved Foot Alignment
Custom orthotics help correct abnormal foot positioning by providing the necessary support to realign the foot and ankle. This alignment can reduce strain on joints, muscles, and tendons in the lower body, preventing pain and injury.
2. Pain Relief
For people suffering from foot pain, conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, or arthritis, custom orthotics can help reduce discomfort. They cushion and distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, reducing the impact on problem areas.
3. Better Posture and Gait
Misalignment in the feet can lead to poor posture or inefficient walking patterns. Custom orthotics help optimize your gait, leading to smoother, more efficient movement. This is especially beneficial for athletes or people who spend a lot of time on their feet.
4. Long Term Benefits
Over time, using custom orthotics can help correct chronic issues, preventing worsening of conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or Achilles tendinitis. Proper support can aid in rehabilitation and even help improve athletic performance by providing a more efficient foot strike and movement
