Foot pain affects more than just your feet — it can influence your knees, hips, back, and overall mobility. Whether you’re dealing with chronic discomfort or simply looking for better support in your daily routine, custom orthotics offer a practical solution that’s often overlooked.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Orthotics are uniquely individually designed shoe inserts created to support the specific structure of your feet. Unlike generic insoles found in stores, custom orthotics are tailored to your foot shape, gait, and pressure points. They help redistribute force travelling through the foot, improve posture, and provide cushioning where it’s needed most.
Conditions That Benefit from Orthotic Support
Many common conditions can benefit from orthotic support, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Flat feet
- High arches
- Bunions
- Arthritis
- Frequent foot fatigue
By supporting proper alignment and evenly distributing pressure, orthotics can reduce strain not only on your feet but also on joints and muscles throughout the body.
Who Can Benefit from Orthotics?
If you’re on your feet all day for work, involved in sports, or recovering from an injury, orthotics can provide the added support you need to stay active and pain-free. They’re also a great preventative tool — helping to avoid future issues by improving how your feet function with every step.
