Increase Stability and Comfort
Custom Orthotics can fit nearly all types of footwear and are used to treat foot pain, heel pain, and minor problems. For example, arch supports can be inserted into your shoes to help correct overarched or flat feet, while gel insoles are often used because they provide comfort and relief from foot and heel pain by alleviating pressure. There are a large variety of orthotics available, with different materials and fabrication processes depending on the foot issue and your particular needs.
Who Can Benefit From Orthotics?
Custom orthotics offer a tailored solution for various individuals seeking foot and lower limb comfort and support. They are especially beneficial for those with foot disorders like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and hammertoes, as well as individuals with specific foot structures like flat feet or high arches. Athletes, people with lower limb and back pain, diabetics, and those with arthritis can also greatly benefit from the personalized support orthotics provide.
People who stand or walk extensively for work, such as nurses and teachers, can find relief from the specialized comfort of orthotics. Overweight individuals can benefit from the even distribution of weight they provide, reducing foot strain. Children experiencing growing pains or foot problems can also see advantages, as can individuals recovering from foot or leg surgeries. Those with a leg length discrepancy can also find alignment benefits. For anyone considering orthotics, a consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended.
