Orthotics

Orthotics are specialized devices designed to provide support, alignment, and relief to the feet and lower body. They come in various forms, including insoles, inserts, and custom-made shoes, and are used to correct foot abnormalities, enhance comfort, and improve overall biomechanics. Orthotics are often recommended for individuals experiencing foot pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, and arthritis, among other conditions. They work by redistributing pressure, providing cushioning, and supporting the natural alignment of the foot, which can help alleviate pain and prevent further injury.

Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are tailored to an individual’s specific needs. The process of creating custom orthotics typically involves a thorough assessment by a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist, who takes a detailed impression or digital scan of the feet. This mold or scan captures the unique contours and pressure points of the foot, allowing for the creation of orthotics that offer precise support and correction. By addressing the root causes of foot and lower limb pain, custom orthotics can significantly improve mobility and quality of life. Over-the-counter orthotics are also available and can provide relief for less severe conditions, offering a more affordable and accessible option for many individuals. Overall, orthotics play a crucial role in foot health, contributing to better posture, reduced pain, and enhanced physical performance.
