Custom Foot Orthotics
Just as it is important to have a home with a strong foundation, your feet are the foundation of your entire body. If the foundation is weak the rest will suffer. Therefore it’s vital to give them the support they need to carry you. This is where custom foot orthotics come in. A doctor of chiropractic will work with you to determine if custom foot orthotics are the right fit for you.
What Are Custom Foot Orthotics?
Custom foot orthotics are specialized medical devices designed to provide personalized support for your feet. These custom-made inserts fit comfortably inside your shoes, optimizing foot alignment, improving biomechanics, and enhancing overall performance. By supporting the feet, orthotics also help alleviate pain and dysfunction throughout the body, often caused by activities like standing, walking, running, or cycling.
Contrary to common belief, custom orthotics are not bulky or uncomfortable. Over the years, they have become slimmer and more durable, adding minimal weight to your shoes while delivering remarkable comfort.
Who Can Benefit from Custom Foot Orthotics?
Anyone can benefit from custom foot orthotics. Foot imbalances, such as fallen arches, can lead to issues with the feet, knees, hips, and lower back. These imbalances are a common source of pain and restricted mobility.
Pain in the feet is often a sign of potential problems in other parts of the body. Left untreated, foot disorders can lead to overcompensation and trigger additional physical issues. Proper foot alignment is key to maintaining overall health and improving your quality of life.
Custom orthotics can address a range of conditions, including:
- Foot, arch, or heel pain
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Heel pain or bone spurs
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Metatarsalgia (pain in the ball of the foot)
- Flat feet
- Recurring ankle sprains
- Morton’s Neuroma
- Bunions
- Tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Knee, hip, and back pain
Orthotics provide both short-term relief and long-term benefits. If your daily activities vary, having a second pair of custom foot orthotics can help you adapt without compromising comfort or health. Building a strong, healthy foundation starts with proper foot care.
Are Custom Foot Orthotics Covered by Insurance?
Yes, most extended health care plans offer coverage for custom foot orthotics. Be sure to check your specific plan for coverage details, including whether a doctor’s prescription is required.
