What You Need To Know About Orthotics
Foot problems and foot pain don’t just affect your feet. Your legs, knees, and back can suffer too. Your feet absorb the shock of impact when you walk, jog, or run. If your feet are compromised, you need help with shock absorption. Orthotics can provide the help you need. Orthotics are an excellent choice to treat:
- Hammertoes
- Bunions
- Arthritis
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Plantar fasciitis
- Fallen arches
- Ball of foot pain
- Gait issues
These are the most common types of orthotics and their uses:
Soft orthotics, created entirely of soft materials, help support your feet and work as shock absorbers. Soft orthotics can help with foot pain from arthritis or diabetes.
Semi-rigid orthotics, created with a combination of soft and rigid materials, help with balance problems and fallen arches. Semi-rigid orthotics can provide the support and cushion you need if you run, jog, or do other activities which have a high level of foot stress.
Rigid orthotics, are created entirely of rigid materials to limit joint motion, provide stability, and give support to strained tendons and ligaments. Rigid orthotics can provide relief from back and leg pain.
