Flat feet, also known as pes planus, can cause discomfort and affect mobility. They occur when the arch of the foot collapses or is absent, leading to the entire foot touching the ground when standing. Flat feet can result from various factors, including genetics, foot bone problems, muscle weakness, and obesity. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, difficulty standing on tiptoes, and fatigue. Relief options include supportive footwear, exercises to strengthen muscles, rest, and in severe cases, surgery. Custom-made orthotics can provide arch support and alleviate discomfort by improving foot motion. If you have flat feet that are causing problems, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist. This type of doctor can determine if orthotics will be helpful to prevent worsening symptoms and improve your overall foot health and function.
Our feet carry us through every part of life, absorbing the impact of thousands of steps each day. When they are not properly supported, the effects can extend far beyond the feet themselves. Custom orthotics provide the foundation the body needs by aligning, cushioning, and stabilizing each foot in its most natural position. They are carefully crafted to match the unique structure of each individual’s feet, allowing them to move efficiently and comfortably while reducing stress on the muscles, joints, and ligaments.
Proper foot support is essential for maintaining balance and preventing fatigue. Without it, the body compensates by shifting weight unevenly, which can lead to discomfort in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower back. Custom orthotics help restore this balance by redistributing pressure and promoting a more natural walking pattern. They not only ease existing pain but also protect against future strain or injury by supporting the arches and controlling excessive motion.
Unlike store-bought insoles, custom orthotics are created through detailed assessment and advanced technology to provide precise correction and comfort. They fit seamlessly into most shoes, making them ideal for daily wear, work, or sports.
