Custom Made Orthotics

Custom Made Orthotics are support devices made specifically to relieve stress and mis-alignment in your foot to create a better foundation for the rest of your skeletal system.

Custom-made orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that are tailored to fit the unique shape and needs of your feet. Unlike generic insoles you might buy off the shelf, these orthotics are created specifically for you, based on precise measurements and an analysis of how you walk or stand. They help correct imbalances, alleviate pain, and provide support where your feet need it most, which can improve your overall posture and reduce strain on your ankles, knees, hips, and back. Whether you have flat feet, high arches, or suffer from conditions like plantar fasciitis, custom orthotics are designed to enhance your comfort and mobility in everyday activities.

Common reasons to wear custom made orthotics:

    1. Foot Pain: Conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and metatarsalgia often lead to foot pain that orthotics can help alleviate by providing support and cushioning.

    1. Flat Feet or High Arches: Custom orthotics can help correct imbalances and provide proper support for people with flat feet (fallen arches) or excessively high arches.

    1. Knee, Hip, and Lower Back Pain: Orthotics can improve foot alignment, which in turn helps reduce stress on the knees, hips, and lower back, alleviating pain in these areas.

    1. Overpronation or Supination: When the foot rolls inward (overpronation) or outward (supination) excessively while walking or running, orthotics can help correct these gait issues to prevent further strain and injury.

    1. Diabetes-Related Foot Issues: People with diabetes often wear orthotics to prevent foot ulcers and other complications due to poor circulation or neuropathy (nerve damage).

    1. Arthritis: Orthotics can provide extra cushioning and support to relieve pressure on joints affected by arthritis, particularly in the feet, knees, and hips.

    1. Sports Injuries: Athletes and active individuals may use orthotics to prevent or recover from injuries related to overuse, improper foot mechanics, or poor alignment during physical activities.

    1. Bunions and Hammertoes: Orthotics can help relieve pain and prevent further deformity by redistributing pressure away from affected areas in people with bunions or hammertoes.

    2. Leg Length Discrepancy: For individuals with one leg shorter than the other, orthotics can be used to correct this imbalance, improving overall posture and gait.
