Relieve Foot Pain with Custom Orthotics Made by Trusted NJ Podiatrists
Custom-made orthotics are prescription medical devices made from non-weight bearing molds of your feet. They are designed to control alignment and function of the foot in order to treat or prevent injury causing motions such as pronation (rolling-in) and supination (rolling-out). They also act to make activities such as running, walking and standing more efficient. Finally, they can act to redistribute pressure on the bottom of the foot to relieve pain from excessive pressure or calluses.
How do Custom-Made Orthotics work?
Most foot pain is the result of a faulty relationship between the bones and muscles of the foot. Even the slightest misalignment can result in significant discomfort. This abnormal function can result in problems such as bunions, hammertoes, arch and heel pain, corns, knee pain and back pain. The function of custom-made orthotics is much more than an arch support. Orthotics realign the structures of the foot and leg to prevent bone misalignment as well as muscle, tendon, and ligament fatigue.
Production of Custom Orthotics
The ability of an orthotic device to eliminate your pain depends on the quality of the orthotics. The cast of your feet is a very exacting process; your foot must be placed in a precise position to ensure the best clinical outcomes. Wayne Foot and Ankle Center's Orthotic Specialist uses state-of-the-art computer analysis to ensure a correct fit.
