Custom foot orthotics are shoe inserts made from a cast of your feet and prescribed to correct functional and structural foot problems. Orthotics work on the feet as braces work on the teeth; by exerting constant gentle pressure to bring foot muscles and joints back into proper alignment.
Each orthotic is unique and original. Our pre-molded foot orthotics are personally fitted to your feet. We use different types of plastics, foams, and different styles to choose from. The usage of our material is based on the patient's individual needs and purpose for ultimate performance and dynamic results.
Functional orthotics aid in increasing or maintaining the normal function of a patient’s feet. They may also reduce foot, ankle, knee, and back pain. Functional foot orthotics are made of various materials to make formed support and incorporate modifications to aid patients' issues. Top covers and cushioning provide comfort for one's specific needs. There are endless design options and materials to provide an orthotic to your need.
Accommodative orthotics are softer, more flexible orthotic that helps transfer pressure or pain from a specific area. They distribute the patient's body weight away from a painful area and provide needed support to decrease pain. The materials are softer than functional orthotics and tend to pad around the area. They aren't made to correct a person's gait but to address foot symptoms by decreasing pressure areas.
It is not uncommon for people with diabetes to have complications with their feet. In the U.S., over 20 million people have diabetes, and many suffer from foot-related issues. Complications can include nerve damage, loss of feeling, poor circulation, skin changes, calluses, and foot ulcers, and effective treatment can be challenging.
Maintaining proper diabetic foot care can help you stay active and engaged in your daily activities. Mobility and quality of life depend on the condition of your feet, proper shoes, lifestyle choices, and commitment to your treatment plan. In collaboration with your physician, an expert like the ones on staff at Balanced Arches will help find the right footwear and insoles that will work best for those with diabetes.
