What are the benefits of wearing orthotics?
Custom orthotics are designed to support problem areas in your feet. Orthotic podiatry can help to relieve heel pain, compensate for a toe joint deformity, and even lift an arch. Unlike generic shoe innersoles that you can purchase from any pharmacist, custom orthotics are uniquely tailored for your foot to provide support where you need it.
Because everyone’s feet are different, any insert that is not custom-fit, can cause as much pain as it’s supposed to relieve. Using state-of-the-art technology, custom orthotics are able to address foot issues that are specific to you.
Your feet carry 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.
Orthotics can help with the following conditions:
Bunions
Knee Pain
Flat Feet
High Arches
Bursitis
Neuroma
Injuries
Archilles Tendinopathy
So, what are the benefits of custom orthotics?
When wearing custom orthotics, you’ll notice how great your feet and the rest of your body feel. Orthotics aim to:
Improve the health of your knees, ankle, and back
Your knees, ankle, and back depend on your feet to maintain proper alignment and range of motion. Any type of foot pain can decrease mobility in your tendons, joints, and muscles, as your stance and stride attempt to compensate for the foot pain. Orthotics help to relieve the pain allowing you to get back onto your feet.
Correct foot abnormalities
Unlike innersoles that you can purchase off-the-shelf, custom orthotics can help to correct foot abnormalities such as high or collapsed arches.
Improve overall health and athletic performance
Whether you are a young athlete or a seasoned sporting warrior, foot pain and abnormalities can affect your athletic performance. Custom orthotics can help relieve the pain that limits your performance.
Relieve pain and pressure
Orthotics redistribute the pressure on your feet and provide added support and cushioning. This can be great if you stand for long period or have arthritis. Orthotics provide pain relief and can help avoid issues such as pressure ulcers, and other foot irregularities that are related to diabetes.
Reduce back pain
If you go through life with your feet, legs, hips, and spine not properly aligned, you are likely to experience lower back pain. Custom orthotics help to realign your body from your feet up, ultimately helping you combat back pain.
At Sky Podiatry, our aim for all orthotic podiatry is to minimise and hopefully stop foot and lower limb pain by correction the function of the foot, as well as treating current issues and conditions. For more information, book a consultation today.
