HOME / ORTHOTICS
Custom Orthotics
Orthotics are custom-made or prefabricated devices designed to support, align, or improve the function of the feet and lower limbs. They are commonly placed inside shoes and may be recommended when foot mechanics contribute to pain or difficulty with movement.
Potential benefits include:
Pain relief
May help reduce discomfort in the feet, heels, ankles, knees, or lower back when abnormal foot mechanics contribute to symptoms.
Improved foot alignment
Can help support the arches and influence how the foot moves during standing and walking.
Better walking mechanics
Orthotics can redistribute pressure and help improve the way forces move through the foot and lower limb.
Reduced pressure on problem areas
They can distribute weight more evenly and reduce stress on specific parts of the foot.
Support for the arches
Useful for some people with flat feet, fallen arches, or other structural or functional foot concerns.
Increased comfort during activity
Appropriate orthotics may make walking, running, standing, or participating in sports more comfortable.
Support during recovery
They may be incorporated into a broader rehabilitation program following certain injuries or when managing chronic musculoskeletal problems.
Improved stability
Some orthotics can provide additional support and help with balance and foot stability.
Orthotics Start With an Assessment
Orthotics aren't appropriate for everyone, and their effectiveness depends on the individual's condition, the type of orthotic, and proper fitting.
They work best when combined with an appropriate assessment and, when needed, exercises or other treatment.
