Why Custom Made Orthotics?
Custom made orthotics are designed to support problem areas in your feet. This can relieve heel pain, help compensate for a toe joint deformity, and even lift an arch.
​
When it comes to orthotics, custom is key. Unlike mass-produced, generic shoe inserts that you can buy at any pharmacy store, custom orthotics are tailored precisely for your foot to provide support exactly where you need it. They are custom-shaped to fit the size and contours of your feet.
​
Because every foot is unique, any insert that’s not custom-fit can cause as much pain as it’s supposed to relieve.
Would you ever imagine that custom foot orthotics could improve your quality of life? That’s what many people say after they experience relief from a variety of pain and other symptoms when they wear their orthotics.
What Are Custom made Orthotics?
It’s important to understand how custom orthotics are far superior to the kind you can buy off the shelf at the store. These shoe inserts can’t relieve the variety of symptoms that custom-made orthotics can.
Custom orthotics are able to fully address foot issues that are specific to you, using state-of-the-art technology that screens your feet for structural irregularities like high or low arches.
​
And, by pain, we don’t just mean foot pain. Instabilities or gait problems caused by a structural issue in your foot can lead to ankle, knee, hip, and even lower back pain.
​
Your feet have an important job to do, carrying you everywhere you need to go in life. So it makes sense to start from the ground up to help alleviate the pain you have in the rest of your body.
​

You’ll notice how great your feet and the rest of your body feel when you wear custom foot orthotics.

​

As they redistribute the pressure on your feet, custom orthotics provides support and cushioning.
This is quite beneficial if you stand for significant periods or have arthritis. They can provide pain relief as well as avoid pressure ulcers and other foot irregularities that are related to diabetes.

How Custom Orthotics Reduce Back Pain
Chronic lower back pain is among the most common complaints among adults in America, and it’s one of the most frequent reasons for missing work. If everyone with back pain wore custom-fitted foot orthotics, the domino effect would take place from the ground up.
​
When your arches are too high or too flat, or you have any other structural abnormality in your feet, it forces your feet out of alignment with your shins. If your feet and ankles turn inward or outward instead of staying in alignment with your shins, eventually, your knees also become misaligned.
Once your knees shift, it can cause your thigh bones to shift and become misaligned where your thigh bones meet your pelvis.
​
As a result of a problem that began in your feet, you now have an unsteady hip posture, which makes your spine less stable. When you go through life with your feet, legs, hips, and spine out of proper alignment, you’re likely to experience lower back pain.
​
Custom Orthotics Can Change Your Life!
Foot orthotics can correct this misalignment of bones beginning with your feet, creating a positive domino effect upward, until your posture improves, alleviating back pain.
​
Custom orthotics change the way your body moves, and they absorb more impact when you walk, run, or stand.
In addition to reducing your back pain, this added shock absorption may help alleviate pain in your ankles, knees, and hips. And that could very well improve the quality of your life.
​
Your feet may not be the first area that comes to mind when you’re trying to get to the root cause of your back and joint pain, but it’s certainly worth investigating as part of the problem.
