What You Need To Know About Custom Orthotics

Generic orthotics you can buy at a grocery store are not custom-made to your feet like custom orthotics are. Custom orthotics are made to fit each foot precisely, to provide optimal benefits. Custom orthotics provide:

• Cushion and support for your feet
• Improved balance and posture
• Relief for painful joints and tissues
• Realignment for structural issues

Custom orthotics are an important treatment option for foot, ankle, and toe problems such as:

• Diabetic neuropathy in your feet or toes
• Arthritis swelling and pain in your feet, toes, or ankles
• Heel pain and swelling caused by plantar fasciitis
• Foot pressure caused by carrying excess weight
• Foot stress from sports or standing and walking on hard surfaces
• Bone deformities including hammertoes and bunions, have caused structural issues

There are several types of orthotics, made from different materials. Your podiatrist can help you select the type of custom orthotic to help relieve pain and other issues. Consider:

• Soft orthotics, cushion your feet, absorb the stress of walking or standing, and help with balance
• Semi-rigid orthotics, to improve balance and help cushion your feet if you are a runner or active person
• Rigid orthotics, limit the motion of your joints, provide stability, and reduce tendon strain
