Orthotic Help for Foot Arthritis

Custom orthotics offer invaluable support and relief for both adults and juveniles grappling with arthritis-related foot issues. Arthritis, a condition characterized by inflammation and stiffness in the joints, commonly affects the feet, leading to pain, swelling, and difficulty in walking. Orthotics play a significant role in managing these symptoms by providing cushioning, redistributing pressure, and improving foot alignment. For adults, arthritis-related foot deformities, such as bunions or hammertoes, can be alleviated with orthotics, reducing pain and enhancing mobility. In juveniles, orthotics can support growing feet affected by juvenile idiopathic arthritis, minimizing discomfort and promoting healthy development. Custom orthotics work by providing tailored support to specific areas of the foot, reducing strain on affected joints, and facilitating a more natural gait. If you or your child has arthritis and the feet are negatively impacted, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist to see if custom-made orthotics can help to alleviate discomfort.

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.
