Orthotics are custom-made or off-the-shelf devices designed to support, align, or improve the function of the feet and lower limbs.
Individuals with foot pain, deformities, or conditions like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, diabetes, or flat feet can benefit from orthotic devices.
Custom orthotics are typically made by taking a mold or digital scan of the patient's feet and assessing their specific needs, followed by crafting the orthotic based on those measurements.
Consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedist, can help determine if orthotics are suitable for your condition.
Common types of orthotics include rigid, semi-rigid, and soft orthotics, each designed for different conditions and levels of support.
Over-the-counter orthotics can provide some support and relief for mild issues, but custom orthotics are often more effective for specific foot problems.
The lifespan of orthotics varies but generally ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on usage, materials, and the individual's condition.
Most orthotics can be worn in several types of footwear, but some designs may require specific shoe styles for optimal fit and function.
While orthotics can alleviate symptoms and improve foot function, they may not cure underlying conditions; they are often part of a broader treatment plan.
Orthotics should be kept clean and dry, and regular inspections for wear and tear are essential to maintain their effectiveness.
