CUSTOM ORTHOTICS

WHY YOU MAY NEED ORTHOTIC SUPPORT!

Bone and Soft Tissue Changes: Changes in the shape of your foot may be caused or aggravated by over pronation. Some shoe types, such as high heels, or strenuous sports activities, like running, may also stress bones and soft tissue. This irritation may speed up changes or increase pain.

Bunion: The big toe joints shift position, creating a bony bump

Flat foot: Arch of the foot is unstable or weak, resulting in a foot that looks flat.

Plantar Fascitis: The plantar fascia running along the bottom of the foot (heel) becomes inflamed.

Callus: Skin builds up where bone presses against the bottom of the foot

Variations in Body Structure: Your foot may over pronate because of a hip or leg problem. too much flattening of the foot may be your body's way of offsetting faulty limb development. This incorrect foot movement sometimes makes your hips or knees hurt along with your feet.

In - or Out- Toeing: A child's legs, knees, or feet may develop in a way that forces the foot to turn in or out.


Joint Problems: Too much or too little motion is allowed by the joints in the hips, knees, ankles, or feet.

Limb Length: Corresponding bones on the right and left sides of the body are a different lengths.

Medical Problems: Some diseases damage the nerves in your feet, making you unable to feel a cut or a sore. Other illnesses may limit your body's healing ability. Under these conditions, a minor skin break on your foot can lead to serious infections, threatening your overall health.

Diabetes: This health disorder may cause loss of feeling in the feet and may also slow healing.

Arthritis: This disease may cause inflammation or even destroy the joints in the feet.
