What Is A Custom Foot Orthotic?
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise 3D laser scan of your feet. The specific manufacturing and materials used vary based on your specific needs, activities and health factors.
Who Needs Custom Foot Orthotics?
Many people use orthotics to prevent problems before they occur. An examination can determine if you have a non-symptomatic problem with your foot biomechanics.
Symptoms of abnormal foot mechanics can include any one of the following:
- Localized foot pain such as plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia
- Bunions
- Hammer toes
- Leg fatigue
- Knee pain
- Hip pain
- Back pain (extending up as far the neck at times)
