Custom Orthotics

Custom Orthotics - Controlling Foot Movement Through Podiatric Care!

Out of sight, out of mind, healthy feet are easily forgotten. But if you feet aren't moving right or you're working them too hard, foot pain may invade you life. Tired aching feet are hard to ignore. Controlling your discomfort can be made by prescription custom orthotics made especially for your feet.

When you feet hurt you can't get far! When it hurts to walk or even just to stand, your feet may slow down your whole life. Swelling changes the way your feet looks, sharp pain when you stand, aching that will not stop! These are just a few common symptoms of foot troubles. Your symptoms may be caused by the way your feet move or by the way your legs are developed. Or you may have a medical condition - Diabetes - that puts your feet at risk for sores, infection, or other health problems.

Custom Orthotics can help!

With years of medial training in foot care, Dr. Thomas F. Vail is an expert in treating foot problems with custom orthotics. Just like contact lenses can improve vision, custom orthotics improve foot movement. The custom orthotic shoe inserts may relieve your symptoms by controlling the way your feet move. Custom orthotics may also help compensate for a problem in your hips or knees that causes incorrect foot movement. Custom orthotics may protect tender areas of your feet from the constant wear and tear from use. Even if your foot problem is best treated by surgery, custom orthotics may delay the need for surgery and help maintain your surgical correction afterwards.

Custom orthotics come in a variety of materials, ranging from rigid plastic to soft foam. All of these materials can be shaped to fit your individual foot needs. The rigid custom orthotics offer the most control of movement, while the softer custom orthotics provide better cushioning and protection. When prescribing your custom orthotics, Dr. Thomas F. Vail will make the best match between your needs and the qualities of the materials.
