Step It Up With Custom-made Orthotics By Your Brooklyn Podiatrist
When you walk do you feel any discomfort or pain? As you walk, your heel tends to slightly swing from side to side, which is normal, but if your heel swings too far, your foot may be over-pronating, or flattening too much. If you do, you may need to visit your podiatrist for a careful evaluation of your symptoms. In some cases, all you may need are custom-made orthotics.
Over time your feet may develop symptoms in which they may change shape or develop pain when you walk. Custom-made orthotics are medical devices that support and gently reposition your heel, arch, muscles, etc. The orthotics enable the structures of your feet to work together. Unlike over-the-counter shoe inserts, custom-made orthotics are specifically made for you, built from molds of your feet. With custom-made orthotics, you can relieve many different types of foot pain including heel pain, plantar fasciitis, arch pain, diabetes pain and many other kinds of foot pain.
What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are shoe inserts that are used to correct an abnormal, or irregular, walking pattern. Not only are these used for arch support, but also for several other features, depending on the source of pain in your feet. By having orthotics standing, walking and running are more comfortable through altering the angles at which the foot strikes a surface.
Your podiatrist can prescribe orthotics for your feet as a conservative approach to many foot ailments or simply as a method of control after foot surgery. There are three different kinds of orthotics that can be used for your feet: rigid, soft and semi-rigid. Each is concerned with improving the functionality of your feet, minimizing the stress forces that could potentially cause pain or deformity.
Rigid Orthotics - With this type of orthotic, the material used tends to be firm such as plastic or carbon fiber. The primary use of rigid orthotics is for walking or to wear in dress shoes.
Soft Orthotics - Soft orthotics help to absorb shock, increase balance and take pressure off of uncomfortable or sore spots in your feet. Typically constructed of soft, compressible materials, soft orthotics can be molded by the action of the foot by walking or formed over an impression of your foot.
Semi-rigid Orthotics - This last type of orthotics provides for extreme balance of the foot while walking or participating in sports, significantly aiding in an athlete's performance.
Foot Scanners for a Custom-Fit
New foot scanning technology offers specific mapping of the contours of your feet, which results in more accurate orthotic fitting for each patient. The process is fast and precise, creating a comfortable, suitable solution for the correction of your feet.
If you are exhibiting foot pain or instability, a consultation with your podiatrist will be needed in order to provide you with accurate foot care. After an evaluation of your foot, your podiatrist can use the advanced foot scanning system to manufacture your individualized orthotic devise to protect your feet.
Custom-made orthotics from your podiatrist in Brooklyn can relieve your chronic foot pain by supporting the bone structures of your feet.
