Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices designed to support and comfort your feet. Unlike "off-the-shelf" insoles, these are handcrafted from a 3D scan or mold of your foot to correct your specific foot structure and walking pattern.
Key Benefits
Total Body Alignment: By correcting the position of your feet, orthotics reduce strain on the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.
Pressure Redistribution: They help shift weight away from painful areas, which is vital for preventing ulcers in patients with diabetes or neuropathy.
Structural Support: They provide specialized support for flat feet (overpronation) or high arches, preventing the collapse of the foot's natural framework.
Injury Prevention & Recovery: Orthotics are highly effective in treating and preventing plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and tendonitis.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: They absorb shock and reduce muscle fatigue, allowing for longer periods of activity with less discomfort.
Types of Orthotics
Rigid (Functional): Usually made of carbon fiber or plastic; designed to control motion and ease pain in the legs and back.
Soft (Accommodative): Made of flexible, cushioning materials; designed to provide extra support and take pressure off uncomfortable sore spots.
