What are Custom-Made Orthotics?
A custom made foot orthotic is something that is individually designed to specifically target and aid in the correction of a foot abnormality or walking issue. It is an insert that goes into your shoes to help correct these structural problems in your feet. Most commonly found problems occur as high arches or having flat feet. If you do have feet problems, you can tell this by having pain in the sole, heel, ankles, knees, and occasionally your hips and back. When you get orthotics or orthopedic shoes, these are specifically designed to help control any abnormal foot function, help to re-establish proper weight distribution, and help improve your overall biomechanics. Getting custom orthotics is what addresses the biomechanical cause of your foot condition. You can think of custom orthotics like getting prescription glasses. When you use them correctly, they will have good results and be extremely effective.
Who needs custom made orthotics?
If you have poor foot mechanics or any of the pain mentioned above, you can benefit from getting custom made orthotics. Using these inserts in your shoes can be more beneficial if you have the following conditions:
- Localized foot pain, e.g. plantar fasciitis
- Heel spur & heel pain
- Bunions, hammer toes
- Arch/heel pain
- Leg/knee pain
- Hip or back pain
- How do I know if I need custom made orthotics?
A good indicator that you need custom made orthotics is if you are suffering from any pain or discomfort in places like your feet, knees, or lower back. Another indicator is if you can visibly see your shoes wearing down in a strange way, as this means you are not walking properly, and need to get orthotics. A health care practitioner can assess your overall posture which will include how you walk.
