What is Orthotics?
Orthotics are shoe inserts that provide arch support, correct foot alignment, and relieve various foot ailments. They can be beneficial for people of various ages and lifestyles, giving pain and discomfort relief. These corrective devices can be made of different materials fitting into your shoes to provide support, correction and cushioning to improve foot performance and comfort.
Benefits of Orthotics include:
- Provide support and cushioning to improve foot performance and comfort
- Help with ailments such as bunions, plantar fasciitis, neuromas, Achilles tendonitis
- Provide relief by providing support and correct alignment from your foot, ankle, knee and hip
- Reduces pressure, and supports healing of minor ulcers
- Help to redistribute areas of high pressure to other areas of the foot that are more tolerable to pressure. Using softer material allows for more comfortable standing and walking and is less likely to create sores leading to more severe issues

Who Can Benefit From Orthotics?
Orthotics can be a beneficial medical device for maintaining foot health, managing problems, and preventing injuries. If you have foot pain or discomfort, or if you engage in activities that put a strain on your feet, you should see a podiatrist/chiropodist or other healthcare practitioners such as a chiropractor.
They can examine your particular needs, do a biomechanical evaluation, and propose suitable orthotics to support and improve your foot function. Remember that investing in your foot health can result in long-term advantages and an overall improvement in your well-being.
Sports and high-impact activities place additional strain on your feet and lower extremities. During exercises, orthotics can provide better balance, shock absorption, and improved biomechanical alignment. Whether you are a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, custom-made orthotics can improve your performance and help prevent injuries.
Professionals that require long standing or walking, such as healthcare, retail, and teaching, can be demanding on your feet. Orthotics can provide additional support, relieve pressure spots, and evenly distribute weight across your feet. This can help avoid foot fatigue, lower the likelihood of developing diseases like plantar fasciitis, and increase general comfort while standing for lengthy periods of time.
Arthritis, diabetes, and orthopedic problems such as leg length disparity can all have an impact on your foot health. Orthotics can provide relief by reducing pressure on problematic areas, changing them, and adjusting deviations. Custom orthotics fitted to your specific requirements can make a substantial difference in managing symptoms and improving mobility in some circumstances.
Custom Orthotics vs. Over-the-Counter: What’s the Difference?
Custom Orthotics can be made from foam moulds or pressure mapping using a computerized scan. If you have recurring foot pain, stiffness, or fatigue, Custom-made orthotics might be beneficial for you.
Foot pain can be a result of a variety of common conditions, including plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and overpronation. Custom orthotics can provide cushioning, arch support, and shock absorption, possibly reducing strain and foot pain relief, reducing discomfort and enhancing mobility.
For those who are just looking for arch support and have no pain, over-the-counter orthotics may be right for you but eventually, they will no longer work.
Over-the-counter, orthotics will not provide long-term relief because they are not addressing your specific issue/problem.
Why settle for discomfort when relief is just a step away?

Let them air dry indoors and do not put them in the sun. Do not machine wash or dry them. Do not soak orthotics as this will break down the top cover material
