Foot Orthotics
Foot orthotics are shoe inserts that can be custom-made or purchased over the counter. Custom-made orthotics are considered more practical and are usually made with higher quality than pre-made orthotics.
Custom-made orthotics help with:
- Correcting abnormal walk or gait
- Reducing pain
- Preventing and protecting foot deformity’s
- Foot alignment positioning
- Pressure on the foot is diminished reduced
- Foot mechanics are improved
Whether from an injury, disease, or condition, the cause of the foot pain is what lets the doctor know what type of orthotic to design. The inserts are made by taking an impression of the foot/feet with a 3-D laser scan.
If you are suffering from foot pain, which can lead to leg, hip, and spine issues, then orthotics might help out. By starting from the bottom up, foot orthotics can prevent any problems and relieve any pain or discomfort. Orthotics are an option to be considered and should be discussed with your doctor.
