Flat feet affect how weight is carried through the body, and no two people have the exact same foot shape. Because of this, care plans should be created to match each person’s needs. When custom orthotics are made to fit the foot closely, they can help guide motion, reduce stress on joints, and improve how the body moves during daily activity. These orthotics may also help reduce fatigue and improve comfort when walking or standing for long periods. Rather than using the same solution for everyone, taking the time to customize the fit can lead to better results. If your arches are low and it affects how you move or feel, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist to discuss how 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.
