What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are medical insoles prescribed by foot specialists to correct biomechanical abnormalities, improve gait, treat foot pathologies, and alleviate pain. While you may find many inserts in the market that can provide you with some degree of cushioning and comfort, they are not advised for treating your foot pathologies. Orthotics not only align your foot structure but also offer protection against common injuries. In short, orthotics improve the overall functionality of your foot and give you effortless mobility.

 

 

How Do Orthotics Help Your Foot?

Custom orthotics provide improved support for your feet, helping with mobility problems. They can also relieve the constant foot pain that interrupts your daily life. Below are some key benefits provided by customized orthotics.

Support sore spots on feet
Sore spots on your feet and ankles can affect your walking. Customized orthotics provide extra cushioning for your sore spots, making walking easy and comfortable.
Reduce joint, back, and foot pain

Improper foot alignment can affect other body parts, such as the knee, joint, and back. This can impact daily life activities and tasks, and you might complain about pain in these areas. Orthotics help in alignment, hence relieving you from recurring pain.

Distribute your weight correctly

Orthotics are crafted to provide ample support and evenly distribute the pressure of your weight. This helps in reducing the pain and providing relief.

Protect against injuries

Intense activities like running or jumping can lead to stress fractures, imbalances, and ligament or tendon injuries. Orthotics have cushions that prevent you from getting injured.

Conditions That Can Benefit from Custom Orthotics

What makes custom orthotics such an excellent choice is that they're very versatile. They can be used to treat or address the discomfort associated with a range of foot conditions such as:

Plantar fasciitis—

 It is one of the most common causes of heel pain. This is due to the swelling in the tissue plantar fascia, a broad band like tissue connecting the heel to the foot. Custom orthotics can heal this by offering support to the bottom of the heel releasing the pressure on plantar fascia.

High or fallen arches—

Every human has different foot arches. Some have flat arches, and others have high arches. However having too high or fallen arches causes foot pain. Orthotics can help reduce this pain by providing targeted support to your foot and improving overall foot function.

Bunions—

Bunions are a foot abnormality that creates a bump at the bottom of foot. This happens when the bones and joints gradually shift from their position. This causes swelling, redness, and pain in the joint. Orthotics help in reducing pressure and pain by correcting the posture of your foot and enhancing foot support and stability.

Hammertoe—

This condition is also known as the rotated toe. It occurs when the toe has an unusual bend in the middle joint. It is caused by wearing ill-fitted shoes. Orthotics can cure this condition, as they provide support to the foot and decrease the pressure on the toe joint.

Arthritis— 

It is the swelling and redness of one or more joints that cause pain and stiffness. It is one of the most common problems faced by elderly people as it keeps on growing with age. Orthotics can help reduce inflammation and pain caused by enhancing mobility, reducing pressure on joints, and providing improved support and alignment.

Leg, knee, and back pain—

Every other person nowadays suffers from either of these pains, irrespective of their age. The primary cause is the type of lifestyle we live today. Orthotics can help by providing better shock absorption, improved foot alignment, reduced risk of injury, improved stability, and reduced pain.

How Are Custom Orthotics Made?

Various factors like weight, medical condition, foot structure, lifestyle, and more are considered for customizing orthotics. Here’s the stepwise procedure for making them:

Assessment

First, your foot is examined to discover the underlying problem. The foot specialist may also ask about your health history to better diagnose you.

Casting

Once the complete assessment is done, a 3D laser scanner is used to take the exact cast of your foot, or a plaster cast is used. Your foot is measured accurately to provide you with a comfortable fit.

Designing
Your orthotics are then designed according to the prescription. Once the design is complete, a highly skilled technician begins the manufacturing process.
Fitting
After your orthotics are made, they are inserted into your footwear. A follow-up appointment is also scheduled to check if they are helping your condition.

The Benefits of Custom Orthotics Windsor

Our custom orthotics are designed specially for you to address the specific foot problem you're suffering from. The benefits offered by our custom orthotics far outweigh those provided by over-the-counter products. Some of these include:

Support

Providers design custom orthotics to provide support to the arches of your feet. This gives you more stability when you walk and optimizes your balance. They can be used for conditions such as collapsed arches and high arches.

Joint protection

When you perform activities such as running and jumping, the pressure on your joints is more than several times your weight. This problem applies especially to those who are overweight, those who regularly walk on hard surfaces, and those who have flat feet. Custom orthotics will ensure that the pressure is distributed evenly, and protect your joints.

Pain reduction

Misalignments in your feet because of conditions such as plantar fasciitis can cause severe pain in several areas of your body. Generally, this happens because of increased strain on your back, ankles, and knees. Custom orthotics will address biomechanical misalignments and encourage healing while minimizing stress in other body parts.

Athletic performance

Custom orthotics are not only for those who are suffering from foot-related disorders. Athletes can also use them to optimize their athletic performance. Custom orthotics can address the force load demanded by specific sports. This can lead to an even pressure distribution and help you make precise movements. Not only that, but they can enhance your balance and mobility.

Injuries

Those who spend much time on their feet are prone to developing injuries. Custom orthotics can prevent injuries to the tendons, joints, and muscles, including stress fractures.
