What Does a Custom Foot Orthotic do?

Benefits of Orthotics for Spine, Lower and Upper limbs rehabilitation include:

  • It is helpful after an injury to prevent further injury and reduce pain by supporting an injured limb.
  • Can prevent or correct deformity and reduce pain during weight bearing
  • Will improve efficiency of gait and balance
  • Provides improvement of base of support / lateral support
  • Can reduce the need for compensatory use of ipsilateral and contralateral limbs which can lead to secondary pain
  • May be used to facilitate training and improvement of skills
  • Can stabilize spinal fractures to allow the patient to return to some normal activities and protect the spinal cord.

Common Conditions Treated With Foot Orthotics

It is important to note that every patient’s situation is different. Not all cases of plantar fasciitis require an orthotic, but some will find it to be an enormous help. This is why we always start with a thorough biomechanical assessment. That being said, here are some conditions that may benefit from a foot orthotic:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Heel spurs
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Excessively pronated and supinated feet (flat or high arches)
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Pain in the joints of the feet
  • Patellofemoral syndrome (runner’s knee)
  • Compensatory knee, hip and back pain

Laser therapy can alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery from a wide range of acute and chronic clinical conditions.

If you are suffering from chronic conditions that affect your daily life, shockwave therapy offers
effective, long-lasting results.
