Custom-made orthotics can be a good solution for individuals with diabetic foot problems. Diabetes often leads to complications such as peripheral neuropathy and poor circulation, which can result in foot ulcers and Charcot arthropathy if not addressed promptly. Ulcers are open sores that can become infected, while Charcot arthropathy involves the weakening of the bones in the foot, leading to fractures and deformities. Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that provide support and redistribute pressure on the feet. They can help alleviate pain, prevent the formation of ulcers, and provide stability to avoid fractures. By offering a precise fit tailored to an individual's unique foot structure, custom orthotics reduce pressure points and enhance comfort. Knowing when to try custom orthotics can be challenging. Signs can include persistent foot pain, noticeable changes in foot shape, and previous foot ulcers or infections. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is suggested that you seek professional advice from a podiatrist.
