Walking difficulties can arise from a variety of foot and ankle conditions, including flatfoot, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and nerve disorders. These issues may lead to pain, imbalance, or fatigue that interfere with daily mobility. Custom orthotics are designed to provide targeted support by improving alignment, redistributing pressure, and stabilizing the foot during each step. Unlike generic inserts, custom devices are made from a detailed evaluation of an individual’s foot structure and gait, ensuring a precise fit that addresses specific concerns. Orthotics can ease discomfort, reduce strain on joints, and promote a smoother walking pattern. They are often part of a conservative care plan that may also include stretching, strengthening, and wearing supportive footwear. If you are experiencing ongoing pain or instability while walking, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist to explore whether custom orthotics could help restore comfort and mobility.

If you’re experiencing foot discomfort, have a history of foot and ankle injuries, or are interested in exploring Custom orthotics, don’t hesitate to contact Stephen Lasday, DPM at West Coast Podiatry Center. Our doctor is dedicated to offering the care required to help you remain pain-free and stay on your feet. 

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.

Rheumatoid arthritis often affects the many small joints of the feet, causing pain, stiffness, and deformities that can make walking difficult. Over time, inflammation can change the shape of the foot, leading to pressure points, instability, and difficulty finding supportive shoes. Custom orthotics are frequently recommended to reduce pain and improve mobility by redistributing weight and cushioning sensitive areas. Soft or semi rigid orthotics can be designed to relieve stress on inflamed joints, provide shock absorption, and protect against further irritation. They can also help correct imbalances that develop as the foot structure changes, allowing for better stability and alignment. For some patients, custom orthotics delay the need for more invasive interventions, and support long term joint health. If you are living with rheumatoid arthritis and experiencing foot pain, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist for care.
