Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts that are designed to provide support and stability to the feet and ankles. They are made from a mold or impression of the patient’s feet, which ensures a precise fit and proper alignment.
We use orthotics to treat to treat a variety of conditions, including flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and other foot and ankle problems. Helpful in reducing pain and discomfort associated with conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and neuropathy.
At Revolve Physiotherapy, our physiotherapist or chiropodist can give you a comprehensive orthotic evaluation based on your current medical conditions and activity level to provide you with the best custom orthotics.
Here are some of the benefits of using custom orthotics:
- Pain relief: Alleviate foot, knee, hip, and lower back pain by providing support and cushioning to the feet. They can also help reduce the risk of injuries.
- Correcting foot abnormalities: Used to correct foot abnormalities such as flat feet, high arches, or pronation (inward rolling of the foot).
- Improved balance and stability: Improve balance and stability by providing a stable base for the foot.
- Enhanced athletic performance: Help athletes by providing support and stability, reducing the risk of injuries, and improving overall performance.
- Improved comfort: Custom orthotics can help improve overall foot comfort by providing cushioning and support to the feet.
- Better foot alignment: Improve foot alignment, which can lead to improved posture and reduced stress on the joints.
The process involves a thorough evaluation of the patient’s feet and gait, followed by the creation of a customized mold or impression. We produce orthoses based on the mold or impression and adjust as needed to ensure a proper fit.
