All About Orthotics
December 1, 2024
What are Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are insoles that go in your shoes. They are designed to correctly align the position of your feet to optimize comfort and your health. As opposed to insoles you can get at the store, custom orthotics are molded and made to fit just your foot. This is beneficial because they are able to target your foot specifically and correct any misalignment.
What do Orthotics do?
Since orthotics are tailor made, they help your feet in many different ways. They not only help with foot pain, but they also help with back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and so much more. They even help with diabetes and plantar fasciitis. If you’re not quite sure if custom orthotics are right for you, talk to your podiatrist! They’ll have all the answers you’re looking for.
What Does the Process Look Like?
Getting custom made orthotics is quite simple. You’ll first want to make an appointment with your podiatrist to talk about your options and what the best treatment is for you. Once you decide orthotics are right for you, your podiatrist will make scans of your feet during your consultation. After that, those scans are sent off to be made. After just a few short weeks, you’ll come back into the office to try them on and make sure they are a good fit.
