Custom orthotics are specialized insoles designed to provide structural support and enhance foot function, accommodating various shoe types. Custom orthotics are beneficial for addressing a range of issues, including heel pain, Achilles tendonitis, flat feet, and more. By rebalancing the feet and aligning the body, they can alleviate knee and back pain and relieve pressure on problematic areas. To create these tailored orthotics, the process begins with a comprehensive assessment. Then, specialized methods are used to capture the precise imprint of your feet, considering your weight and shoe size. This data is sent to a medical lab, along with your prescription, to craft perfectly fitted orthotics that effectively address your specific concerns. If you would like to discuss how custom orthotics can help you, make an appointment with a specialist.
Custom orthotics play an important role in care by supporting the foundation of the body, the feet. When the feet are properly aligned, the entire musculoskeletal system benefits. Custom orthotics are specially designed inserts that fit each person’s unique foot structure, helping correct imbalances that can lead to pain or strain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. They promote better posture, improve stability, and allow for smoother, more efficient movement throughout daily activities.
Foot and ankle issues often contribute to spinal misalignment and muscle tension, which can interfere with overall body balance. Custom orthotics work to redistribute pressure evenly across the feet, reducing stress on joints and supporting the natural arches. This helps relieve discomfort from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, heel pain, and overpronation while also enhancing the long-term results of care.
Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are created after a detailed evaluation of foot structure, gait, and posture. Advanced technology is used to ensure each pair provides precise correction tailored to the patient’s needs. Worn regularly, they can improve comfort, mobility, and spinal alignment, allowing the body to function at its best.
