When feet or ankles are not moving or working as they should, daily activities can become harder. Pain, weakness, or old injuries may cause changes in how a person walks or stands. Supportive inserts placed inside shoes can help improve movement and ease discomfort. These devices guide the foot into a better position and take pressure off sore areas. Over time, this can help build strength, improve balance, and reduce the chance of future problems. Wearing the device regularly is important for the best results. Some people may also benefit from simple stretches or strengthening routines. Each plan should be tailored to the person’s needs and adjusted as they make progress. If your foot or ankle feels unstable or weak and daily tasks are becoming harder, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist for advice and a discussion on whether custom orthotics can help you.

What are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics refer to custom inserts designed for placement in different shoe types, including athletic and formal footwear, with the purpose of alleviating a spectrum of foot-related problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and overall foot discomfort. These inserts are instrumental in providing relief and comfort for a diverse range of foot conditions, including heel pain, and can also act as a proactive approach to injury prevention.
Medical Grade Shoe Inserts:
A diverse array of shoe inserts is available for addressing foot pain, heel discomfort, and minor issues. For instance, you can place arch supports in your shoes to rectify overarched or flat feet, and gel and cushioned insoles are frequently chosen for the comfort and relief they provide from foot and heel pain by reducing pressure.
