Custom Orthotics Near You
What are Custom Orthotics?
Custom Orthotics (inserts) are medical devices that are made from the impression of your feet. They are then fabricated in an orthotic lab by a licensed orthotist from the Podiatrist’s Prescription based on your specific needs. The results are inserts that are custom fitted for your shoes for realignment and support of the feet and ankle.
Often, our patients are amazed at what the prescribed inserts can do. Orthotics can modify structural and functional characteristics of the skeletal system, helping to alleviate the painful conditions resulting from foot and ankle maladies.
Can You Benefit from Custom Orthotic Inserts or Orthopedic Shoes?
Orthotics are custom inserts or orthopedic shoes designed to ease and prevent foot, ankle, knee, hip or lower back pain. If you experience pain in these areas that worsens with activity, you may be a candidate for orthotics.
Signs You Need Orthotics
Other signs include shin splints, pain in your calves, heels or arches. Orthotics are one of the best preventative measures you can take before pain reduces your ability to walk or functional level. Speaking to a podiatrist and educating yourself on your foot type can help you recognize signs and symptoms that can be indications for custom orthotics or therapeutic shoes.
Sometimes Custom Shoes are Recommended
Family Podiatry of Maryland carries therapeutic and diabetic shoe lines of difficult sizes. These shoes are designed to accommodate deformities of the feet and ankles. Good supportive shoes can alleviate pain, swelling, and discomfort. They can also prevent the breakdown of calluses, which are pressure points that can result in ulceration for diabetic patients. Anytime there is an open sore, there is a chance for infection, which may lead to limb loss.
