What are Custom-Made Orthotics?

Custom-made orthotics are specialized medical devices designed to address various biomechanical issues, provide support and alignment, and improve overall function to the feet and lower limbs. The primary purposes of custom-made orthotics include:

Foot Alignment and Support

Orthotics are used to correct improper foot alignment, which can lead to various issues such as overpronation (excessive inward rolling of the foot) or supination (insufficient inward rolling of the foot). By providing the necessary support and realignment, custom orthotics can help distribute weight and pressure more evenly across the feet and reduce strain on certain areas.

Pain Relief

Orthotics can alleviate pain and discomfort caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, bunions, metatarsalgia, and Achilles tendonitis. They can cushion sensitive areas, reduce pressure on painful spots, and improve the overall mechanics of the foot, which can lead to decreased pain over time.

Injury Prevention

Custom orthotics can help prevent injuries by improving the alignment of the feet and lower limbs during various activities. They can provide better shock absorption, stability, and control, which are crucial in reducing the risk of injuries like stress fractures, shin splints, and ankle sprains.

Improved Function

People with specific foot abnormalities or gait irregularities can benefit from custom orthotics, as these devices can help normalize their gait pattern and enhance overall foot function. This can lead to better movement efficiency and less strain on surrounding muscles and joints.

Sports Performance

Athletes often use custom-made orthotics to enhance their sports performance. By optimizing foot alignment, stability, and shock absorption, orthotics can improve an athlete's biomechanics and reduce the risk of overuse injuries.

Accommodation of Structural Deformities

Some individuals have structural foot deformities, such as flat feet or high arches, which can lead to biomechanical issues and discomfort. Custom orthotics can be designed to accommodate these deformities and provide the necessary support to minimize associated problems.

Postural Alignment

Proper foot alignment is connected to overall postural alignment. Custom orthotics can help improve the alignment of the entire body, from the feet up to the spine, by providing a solid foundation for the rest of the skeletal structure.

Consult a Certified Pedorthist at Perfect Fit Orthotics

It's important to note that not everyone needs custom-made orthotics. Over-the-counter orthotic inserts may be sufficient for mild issues, while more severe conditions may require custom solutions. If you're experiencing foot pain, discomfort, or gait abnormalities, consult a certified pedorthist at Perfect Fit Orthotics who can assess you to determine whether custom-made orthotics are the right solution for you.
