Custom Orthotics at Associates in Podiatry in Bedford, NH
Underlying foot problems can often cause pain in the feet, legs, or lower back. For instance, an irregular walking or running pattern can place excessive strain on the feet or legs, leading to discomfort and pain. Custom orthotics are designed to correct these step patterns, providing relief by offering cushioning, stability, arch support, and more. At Associates in Podiatry in Bedford, NH, Dr. Ryan Slepoy and the team can help you find the right orthotics to address your needs.
How Orthotics Help
Orthotics are shoe inserts that correct issues related to a person’s step pattern or address specific foot problems, such as inadequate arch support. By improving foot alignment and providing the necessary support, orthotics can reduce strain on the feet and legs, ultimately relieving pain and discomfort.
Some key benefits of custom orthotics include:
- Improving alignment in the feet and lower extremities
- Reducing strain on the feet, ankles, and legs
- Providing relief from pain and discomfort
- Improving stability and balance
- Offering additional cushioning
- Delivering enhanced arch support
While over-the-counter orthotics are available, custom orthotics made by a podiatrist provide the best results. Custom orthotics are designed to fit your feet and address your unique foot structure, offering a more comprehensive solution to various problems.
Types of Orthotics
At Associates in Podiatry, we offer several types of custom orthotics tailored to fit your specific needs:
- Rigid Orthotics: These orthotics help reduce leg and lower back pain by correcting foot positioning when walking. They are particularly beneficial for patients with irregular walking patterns that cause pain.
- Semi-Rigid Orthotics: These orthotics improve balance and stability by correcting foot alignment. They benefit athletes or individuals with flat feet who require additional arch support.
- Soft Orthotics: Designed for cushioning, support, and shock absorption, soft orthotics relieve pressure on the balls of the feet. They are especially helpful for individuals with arthritis, foot deformities, or diabetes-related foot problems.
