Why You Should Consider Getting Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics can help your feet, which can also help your body. Your feet hold up your body weight, and when your feet hurt, chances are your body will hurt too. Custom orthotics can help you and your feet feel better. Our podiatrists at Foot & Ankle Clinic provide a wide range of podiatry services, including custom orthotics. They have several convenient locations in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Rice Lake, and Menomonie, WI.

What You Need to Know about Custom Orthotics

If you’ve suffered from foot pain, chances are you’ve considered buying an over-the-counter orthotic at the grocery store. The only problem is, these orthotics are made for everyone’s feet, so they may not provide the relief you need. Custom orthotics from our podiatrist are designed just for you and your unique feet. You should consider getting custom orthotics if you have:

• Chronic foot pain
• Flat feet
• Hammertoes
• Osteoarthritis
• Rheumatoid arthritis
• Plantar fasciitis

You should also consider getting custom orthotics if you play a sport. Custom orthotics can cushion, support, and protect your feet from injury.

Custom orthotics can also help correct gait issues. Gait issues can cause heel and foot pain, poor foot and toe alignment, plantar fasciitis, and other conditions.

Custom orthotics can also help maintain balance and proper posture, to help you avoid traumatic falls.

When you visit our podiatrists for orthotics, they will perform a comprehensive evaluation of your feet and take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit for your orthotic. Our podiatrist may recommend:

Soft orthotics - made of soft materials which are an excellent choice for balance issues, diabetic neuropathy, and arthritis.

Semi-rigid orthotics - made of soft and rigid materials which are perfect for pediatric foot problems, sports injuries, or sports-related foot stress.

Rigid orthotics - made of rigid materials which are great for relieving tendon and muscle pain in your feet and legs.
