Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that are tailored to fit the unique shape and needs of an individual’s feet. They are created based on a detailed assessment of the feet and are intended to provide support, correct alignment, and improve overall foot function.

What Do They Help With?

  • Foot Pain Relief: Alleviates pain caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs.
  • Improved Alignment: Corrects improper foot alignment, which can affect the ankles, knees, hips, and back.
  • Enhanced Support: Provides additional support to the arches and other structures of the foot.
  • Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of injuries by distributing pressure evenly across the feet.
  • Better Balance: Improves balance and stability, particularly in individuals with flat feet or high arches.
  • Enhanced Athletic Performance: Optimizes foot mechanics, aiding in better performance and endurance in sports and physical activities.

How Do They Work?

  • Assessment: A healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist, conducts a thorough evaluation of the individual’s feet, gait, and overall biomechanics. This may include physical examination, gait analysis, and possibly imaging studies.
  • Casting or Scanning: A mold or digital scan of the feet is taken to capture their precise shape and structure.
  • Customization: The mold or scan is sent to a specialized lab where the orthotics are custom-made to match the exact specifications needed for optimal support and correction.
  • Material Selection: Orthotics can be made from various materials, including foam, plastic, or carbon fiber, depending on the required support and flexibility.
  • Fitting: Once the custom orthotics are ready, they are fitted to ensure comfort and effectiveness. Adjustments can be made as necessary.
  • Usage Guidance: Patients receive instructions on how to gradually break in the orthotics and incorporate them into their daily footwear.

Who Can Benefit From Custom Orthotics?

  • Individuals with Foot Conditions: Those suffering from plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, hammertoes, or heel spurs.
  • People with Joint Pain: Individuals experiencing pain in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower back due to poor foot alignment.
  • Athletes: Sports enthusiasts looking to improve performance, reduce fatigue, and prevent injuries.
  • Diabetics: People with diabetes who need to prevent foot ulcers and other complications by ensuring proper foot support and pressure distribution.
  • Elderly Individuals: Seniors who require additional support to maintain mobility and reduce the risk of falls.
  • Workers on Their Feet: Individuals who spend long hours standing or walking, such as healthcare workers, teachers, and retail employees.
  • Children with Growth Issues: Kids with developmental foot problems or conditions like pediatric flatfoot.

Examples Of Custom Orthotics Applications

  • Plantar Fasciitis: Custom orthotics provide arch support and reduce strain on the plantar fascia.
  • Flat Feet: Orthotics help to support the arch and correct overpronation.
  • High Arches: Orthotics offer cushioning and distribute weight more evenly across the foot.
  • Bunions and Hammertoes: Orthotics can relieve pressure and provide better alignment for the toes.
  • Sports Injuries: Athletes use orthotics to improve foot mechanics and prevent injuries like shin splints and stress fractures.
  • Diabetic Foot Care: Custom orthotics help in managing foot health and preventing ulcers in diabetic patients.
