Orthotics are believed to help prevent sports-related injuries. One of the main roles of wearing orthotics is to reduce the work the muscles must do. When people move, their muscles have a preferred path, and if orthotics supports or counteracts this path, it can change how much the muscles need to work. The aim of orthotics is to minimize muscle effort while maximizing comfort and performance. If you participate in sports activities and experience any foot or ankle problems, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist to determine whether custom-made orthotics are appropriate for 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.
