Enhance Your Comfort with Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom Foot Orthotics in Markham made the right way
Custom foot orthotics are specialized medical devices designed to address foot and ankle issues. They help improve foot and ankle function and correct abnormal biomechanics, making them useful for treating and preventing conditions like flat feet, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, Morton's neuroma, and Achilles tendonitis. By combining custom orthotics with appropriate footwear, you can reduce or even eliminate foot and ankle pain, helping you stay healthy and active.
Types of Custom Foot Orthotics
Functional Custom Foot Orthotics:
- Purpose: Support and enhance foot function, prevent joint misalignment, and alleviate stress on muscles and ligaments.
- Use: Suitable for both acute and chronic pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Ideal for everyday activities and works well in orthotic-friendly shoes.
Casual & Dress Custom Foot Orthotics:
- Casual Orthotics: Durable and designed to fit in various types of shoes, including office and formal wear. Made from materials like carbon fiber or graphite.
- Dress Orthotics: Thinner and lighter than casual orthotics, designed for low-profile shoes without removable insoles.
Accommodative Custom Foot Orthotics:
- Purpose: Absorb shock, improve balance, and relieve pressure on sore spots.
- Use: Best for conditions like peripheral neuropathy, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and highly callused feet, where comfort and protection are more important than altering foot function.
