How Orthotics can Improve Your Foot Health
Did you know that your feet are one of the most complex parts of your body, with 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons and ligaments? With all those moving parts, it’s no wonder foot and ankle conditions are so common. But there’s good news: orthotics can help!
These custom-made shoe inserts can provide a number of benefits for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. They can help to redistribute weight and pressure on the affected joint or muscle, which can reduce pain and improve mobility. They can also provide support to weak or unstable joints (which can help to prevent further injury), correct alignment issues, and reduce pain and discomfort.
Some of the conditions that benefit from orthotics include plantar fasciitis, flat feet, heel spurs, high arches, and even back pain and shin splints. In addition to treating specific foot and ankle conditions, orthotics can also be used to improve athletic performance. Athletes who participate in high-impact sports such as running or basketball can benefit from the extra support and cushioning that orthotics provide.
Patients who are considering orthotics should consult with a Podiatrist who can provide guidance on whether orthotics are appropriate for their specific condition and can recommend the best type for their needs.
Junction Foot and Ankle Group offers a wide range of orthotics to suit the specific needs of our patients. Through our thorough assessment process, we can determine the type of orthotic that will work best for each patient. Our assessment includes a detailed medical history, a physical examination, and a gait analysis.
Once we have determined the type of orthotic that is needed, we will undertake a special digital scan of the feet. These are used to create a custom-made orthotic that is tailored to the unique shape and needs of the patient's feet. We use the latest technology and materials to create orthotics that are comfortable, durable, and effective.
If you are experiencing foot or ankle pain, we encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our Podiatrists. Our team of experts will work with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
With the latest in 3D technology and a range of materials, custom orthotics from Junction Foot and Ankle Group are very comfortable and nothing like orthotics of the past.
