So, if you or a loved one is experiencing debilitating foot or ankle pain or suffering from an injury or infection, be sure to give us a call. Many painful foot and ankle conditions can be successfully treated with custom orthotics made by your foot doctor, orthotic inserts are molded to fit your precise foot shape. Correcting gait abnormalities, orthotics also helps with knee, hip, and back pain.

5 Ways Custom Foot Orthotic Inserts Help Your Feet:

• Relieving pain and redirecting pressure—Orthoses relieve the pain of many varied conditions including Achilles tendonitis, corns and calluses, and arch problems.
• Stabilizing the ankle—Wearing shoes with a lower heel cup allows room for custom ankle supports which will help prevent falls and injuries.
• Eliminating the need for surgery—Properly placed orthotics can eliminate the need for more invasive procedures like surgery and the rigid boot that must be worn for months afterward.
• Helping with foot and toe structural issues—Bunions, hammertoes, tendonitis, and flat feet are structural problems greatly helped by orthotics.
• Treating diabetic foot problems—Specially made shoes with the proper custom orthotic help prevent wounds and helps foot ulcers heal by removing pressure.
