Reduce Foot Pain With Custom Orthotics

When you experience foot pain, specifically in the arch of the foot, you likely thought you needed more cushion. A softer sole or more cushion feels great, but it doesn’t address the underlying issue causing the foot pain. Our 15-minute orthotics assessment will help us identify which orthotic you need and get you on the road to relief with a new custom orthotic. Call our office today to request an appointment.

The Facts About Orthotic

Foot Orthotics (FAQs)

What are orthotics?
Orthotics are special inserts worn inside the shoes that are designed to treat a variety of foot and ankle problems. They can be custom-made specifically for your feet or bought over-the-counter at most major drug and department stores. Orthotics are generally light-weight, but can be rigid or soft depending on what they are designed to treat. They are often made with a firm foundation with cushioning materials on top.
What conditions can orthotics treat?
Orthotics can be used to correct foot deformities, help the feet and ankles function better, provide support, and reduce the risk of future injuries. They can be used to treat a variety of conditions. These include plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, bursitis, Morton’s neuroma, Achilles tendinopathy, and many more. Orthotics may also be prescribed to help correct a dysfunctional gait or walking pattern.
Should I get over-the-counter or custom-made orthotics? 
The type of orthotics you should get depends on the foot or ankle condition you have and what your treatment goals are. You should discuss your specific needs with your podiatrist to find the right orthotic to help you.
Can orthotics hurt your feet?
Generally, orthotics will not hurt unless they do not fit properly or are worn out. Some people believe that wearing orthotics, and particularly wearing them long-term, can weaken or otherwise harm the feet, however this is not the case. Orthotics are designed to help heal or manage foot and ankle problems to improve your mobility, comfort, and quality of life. If your orthotics are hurting you, let your podiatrist know as soon as possible so that they can figure out why and solve the problem.
When should I get new orthotics?
Orthotic inserts, even those that are custom-made, unfortunately are not built to last forever. Much like your shoes, they undergo wear and tear over time, especially if they are worn frequently. You may need new orthotics if you notice that your current ones are no longer helping relieve your symptoms, are uncomfortable, or are showing signs of wear and tear.
