Orthotics & Shoe Inserts
Comprehensive Biomechanical Support
What Are Orthotics and Inserts?
No two fingerprints are alike. Similarly, human feet are not like one another either. Everybody's feet are unique in their beauty, function, and problems. The shape of every foot can have a tremendous effect on the foot's characteristics and overall comfort.
Having low arches or flat feet frequently prompts the foot to roll inward while in motion. These characteristics can contribute to the accumulation of pain and cause foot problems such as plantar fasciitis. When extra assistance and realignment are needed, orthotics and high-quality shoe inserts can grant precise comfort and aid to an affected individual.
How Do Shoe Inserts Work?
An orthotic or shoe insert is an aid designed to supply cushioning or shift the weight distribution alongside the foot. It frequently takes the shape of an insert that can be placed directly into shoes and worn with them. Patients can utilize orthotics both at work or in everyday athletic activities to absorb shock and reduce fatigue.
Prefabricated vs. Custom Orthotics
You have possibly seen orthotics you can purchase over the counter in pharmacies and stores. These prefabricated inserts have a one-size-fits-all approach to addressing foot troubles. We carry our own line of high-quality prefabricated orthotics in our office, which our patients highly commend for their quality, durability, and immediate arch support.
However, as a standard rule, customized orthotics are regularly more favorable for tackling structural issues in specific ways. If prefabricated inserts do not resolve your pain, Dr. Soltani may recommend a personalized orthotic tailor-made to address your specific foot mechanics, correct your posture, and provide longer-lasting relief.
Getting the Right Prescription
Be aware that while prefabricated orthotics may assist occasional patients with minor arch discomfort, they regularly fail for severe issues because they do not adequately manipulate underlying foot characteristics. Only a trained podiatrist can properly diagnose your foot issues and provide the correct type of orthotic or shoe insert to heal your condition.
