Your feet take a beating throughout your life, supporting your weight and helping you walk. Your feet are your body’s natural shock absorbers, so it’s only natural to experience foot problems occasionally. Custom orthotics provide many benefits to improve your foot health.
The doctors at Family Foot And Ankle Associates of Maryland offer a wide range of foot and ankle services, including custom orthotics. They have several convenient office locations in Silver Spring, Kensington, Olney, Camp Springs/Clinton, Laurel, and Maple Lawn, MD.
How Custom Orthotics Can Help You
A custom orthotic is a medical device custom-made for each individual foot. Three-dimensional scans or plaster casts of your feet are taken and sent to a laboratory, where skilled technicians create your orthotics.
Your podiatrist may recommend custom orthotics to help with:
- Reducing foot stress and pressure
- Improving your gait and posture
- Realigning bones, tendons, and ligaments
- Cushioning foot and toe joints
Custom orthotics are an effective treatment to provide relief from:
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Flat feet
- Plantar fasciitis
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Lateral ankle instability
- Arthritis pain in your feet, ankles, and toes
You should consider custom orthotics if you:
- Suffer from chronic foot, ankle, or toe pain
- Play sports or do activities that involve a high amount of foot stress
- Walk or stand on hard surfaces for extended periods
