Custom Foot Orthotics
Foot pain can make everyday activities challenging, whether you’re walking, standing, or exercising. Custom foot orthotics provide a non-invasive solution to relieve pain, correct foot issues, and improve overall alignment.
At Sheehy Ankle & Foot Center, we specialize in creating personalized orthotics that are designed to fit your unique foot structure, offering targeted support for a variety of foot conditions.
Foot orthotics are custom-made devices that are placed inside your shoes to correct biomechanical issues in your feet. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are tailored to your specific foot shape and needs, offering more effective relief from pain and discomfort. Orthotics can help manage a wide range of foot conditions by redistributing pressure, improving alignment, and providing additional support where it’s needed most.
- Pain Relief: Alleviate discomfort caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, and more.
- Improved Alignment: Corrects abnormal foot positioning to improve posture and reduce strain on the legs, knees, and lower back.
- Enhanced Comfort: Custom orthotics are designed to fit perfectly, providing superior comfort for daily wear or athletic activities.
- Prevention of Future Problems: Helps prevent the development or worsening of foot conditions over time.
Custom orthotics can be an effective treatment option for a wide variety of foot and lower body conditions, including:
Orthotics provide extra cushioning and arch support to reduce inflammation and relieve heel pain.
For those with low or no arch, orthotics help provide the necessary support to improve foot function and prevent pain.
Orthotics can distribute pressure more evenly for individuals with high arches, reducing strain on the heel and ball of the foot.
By correcting abnormal foot mechanics, orthotics can relieve pressure on the bunion and improve overall comfort.
Orthotics can help redistribute pressure away from the affected toes, alleviating discomfort.
Orthotics can adjust the foot’s position, reducing strain on the Achilles tendon.
By improving foot alignment, orthotics can reduce stress on other parts of the body, including the knees, hips, and lower back.
At Sheehy Ankle & Foot Center, we use advanced technology and a personalized approach to design orthotics that meet your specific needs. The process involves:
Step 1:
- Comprehensive Foot Assessment: We begin with a detailed examination of your foot structure, gait, and any existing conditions. This helps us identify areas that require additional support or correction.
- Gait Analysis: By analyzing how you walk, we can determine whether biomechanical issues are contributing to your pain or discomfort.
Step 2:
- Foot Molds: We take precise molds or scans of your feet to create orthotics that fit perfectly. This ensures that your orthotics will provide the exact support and correction your feet need.
- Material Selection: Depending on your condition and lifestyle, we’ll select the right materials to provide the appropriate level of support and flexibility.
Step 3:
- Fitting Appointment: Once your custom orthotics are ready, we’ll ensure they fit correctly and provide the relief you need. We’ll also make any necessary adjustments to guarantee comfort and effectiveness.
- Follow-up Care: We schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and adjust the orthotics as needed to ensure long-term comfort and results.
