Custom orthotics serve as an important tool in managing soft tissue, bone injuries, and neurological conditions affecting the feet and ankles. They work by redistributing pressure, stabilizing joints, and improving overall alignment, which can help reduce strain on soft tissues and promote healing of bone injuries. In cases of neurological changes, custom orthotics can provide additional support and improve balance and mobility. Orthotics are often used alongside other treatments, such as targeted exercises or medication, to address underlying impairments and improve gait. Setting clear treatment goals is essential to determine the best orthotic solution, whether targeting pain relief, enhanced mobility, or correcting biomechanical issues. Custom orthotics ensure a proper fit and function. While generally not a standalone treatment, custom orthotics play a vital role in achieving better outcomes and improving quality of life. If you have foot or ankle pain, problems, or injury, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for an evaluation and determination if orthotics can help you.

What are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics refer to custom inserts designed for placement in different shoe types, including athletic and formal footwear, with the purpose of alleviating a spectrum of foot-related problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and overall foot discomfort. These inserts are instrumental in providing relief and comfort for a diverse range of foot conditions, including heel pain, and can also act as a proactive approach to injury prevention.
Medical Grade Shoe Inserts:
A diverse array of shoe inserts is available for addressing foot pain, heel discomfort, and minor issues. For instance, you can place arch supports in your shoes to rectify overarched or flat feet, and gel and cushioned insoles are frequently chosen for the comfort and relief they provide from foot and heel pain by reducing pressure.
