Many people experience foot health problems at some point in their lives, ranging from minor discomfort to more persistent conditions. Custom-made orthotics are prescription medical devices that may be covered by your health insurance and work benefits.
Here is a list of some conditions that may need orthotics:
- Foot pain
- Flat feet
- High arches
- Corn and callus
- Metatarsalgia
- Plantar fasciitis
- Morton’s neuroma
- Bunion
- Arthritis
- Diabetic wounds
- Shin splints
Just like prescription glasses, proper custom orthotics are precise medical devices made for each patient’s feet alone. However, some people may actually benefit from OTC inserts and that might be all they need. At Orangeville Foot Clinic, we can also provide you with high-quality OTC inserts.
Orthotics may help you in different ways such as support and stability of the feet, reducing pain, correcting foot alignment, preventing issues including diabetic ulcers, and slowing down the progress of some conditions such as bunions.
We usually recommend orthotics if muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, or bones are not in an optimal functional position and are causing pain, discomfort, or foot fatigue. With training in biomechanics and gait analysis, the chiropodists at Orangeville Foot Clinic can take a digital scan of your feet using 3D imaging technology to design and manufacture custom-made orthotics.
Keep in mind that orthotics need good shoes! Without proper footwear, orthotics will lose part of their functionality. We also have a vast variety of orthopedic, supportive, accommodative and stylish shoes and sandals. Click HERE to read some tips about how to choose good shoes.
