In life, life throws obstacles in your path that can lead to your feet hurting every single day — even if they start out with perfect feet. You may experience foot pain due to shoe styles, medical conditions such as diabetes, or even healthy-for-you sports if you have imperfections in your foot.
There are many ways in which custom orthotics can help you with your foot pain. If you are experiencing foot pain, All in One expert often recommend custom orthotics to relieve the pain. But you should also know that custom orthotics can do much more than simply alleviate the pain.
Generic orthotics don’t work as well as custom orthotics
It can lift the arch of your foot, relieve heel pain, or compensate for a deformed toe joint. Custom orthotics can be worn as shoe inserts or arch supports.
It’s all about custom orthotics. Custom orthotics are tailored specifically to your foot, unlike generic, mass-produced shoe inserts available over the counter. The shape and contour of these inserts fit your foot exactly where you need it and provide support exactly where you need it.
The custom orthotics evaluation also enables Dr. Roohian to determine your stride since your feet don’t stand still all day. By doing so, she can gain a better understanding of how your feet function. Every foot is unique, and an insert that doesn’t fit properly can lead to more pain than it resolves.
Using custom orthotics can improve your health in many ways
It can be very beneficial for you to get your orthotic custom fitted.
Provides correction for abnormal foot conditions
Rather than masking your foot pain with custom orthotics, which correct structural abnormalities, such as collapsed arches (pronation) or high arches (supination), underlying symptoms can be corrected.
Pressure is relieved
In addition to providing cushioning and support, custom orthotics also redistribute pressure on your feet. You can use orthotics to prevent pressure ulcers and other foot abnormalities due to diabetes if you have arthritis or stand a lot during the day.
Increases the strength and function of the back, knees, and ankles
Custom orthotics may benefit you if you suffer from the following conditions:
- Insomnia
- Pain in the ankles
- Pain in the knees
As your stride or stance changes to compensate for pain in your feet, your ankles, knees, and back become less flexible. Foot problems can create pain and restrict your range of motion.
Changing the alignment of your feet can help prevent these issues by restoring the soft tissue and bones in your back and lower extremities.
Maintains a healthy lifestyle and improves athletic performance
The effects of foot abnormalities can be detrimental, whether you are an aspiring athlete, or a seasoned warrior trying to keep your title. It’s not just about running or walking. Whether you are playing golf, pitching from the mound, or cycling on weekends, foot pain can limit your performance. Custom orthotics can help overcome that pain.
The more foot pain you get, the harder it is to run, walk, and do workouts at the gym, and it might even become more enjoyable if you care about staying healthy.
