Need To  Know
Each of your foot is a tremendously intricate 
structure  with 26 bones, hundreds of muscles, 
ligaments,  tendons, and blood vessels. Because 
your feet support  and balance your weight, foot 
structure and alignment  changes can negatively 
affect other joints and overall  health. Custom 
orthotics are prescription medical  devices worn 
within shoes to treat foot alignment issues  that 
lead to biomechanical abnormalities when you  
walk, stand, or run.
Additionally, using a foot brace might lessen 
foot pain  brought on by illnesses, including 
plantar fasciitis,  bursitis, diabetes, and 
arthritis. To create a custom  brace, your 
doctor will take your detailed medical  history 
and assess your height, weight, activity level,  
and medical condition.

problem.
Support Your Feet
Custom orthotics are made to support the  
anatomical arch and improve stability while  
standing and walking. Commercial shoe 
inserts  also provide some stability to the 
foot, but they are  not designed to fit a 
specific foot and do not  provide optimal 
balance and support over the entire  surface 
of the foot. Unlike standard commercial  
insoles, custom orthotics can correct foot  
deformities such as pronation (collapsed 
arches)  and extension (high arches).
Protect Your Joints
When you walk, run, or jump, and your feet 
touch the  ground, the actual force on the joints 
of your feet, legs,  and spine is many times the 
weight of your body. Over  time, wear and tear 
on the body's joints can cause pain  and 
discomfort, especially in people who are  
overweight, often walk on hard surfaces, or 
have foot  problems such as flat feet. However, 
with custom  orthotics, pressure can be 
dispersed more uniformly  across the foot's 
surface, lessening the body's effort on  the foot.
Additionally, tailored orthotics absorb shock to 
keep you  active throughout the day. Most 
importantly, custom  orthotics are useful if your 
feet differ from one another,  assisting you in 
regaining balance and avoiding  alignment 
issues.
Reduce Pain
Imbalances in the foot structure caused by flat feet, arthritis, and 
plantar fasciitis  can also cause severe pain in other body parts. This is 
caused by increased  stress on the ankles, knees, and hips as the 
body struggles to adjust its  biomechanical balance to compensate for 
the misalignment of the foot. Custom  braces can help reduce pain 
caused by biomechanical misalignment and  promote healing without

How to se Custom 
Insoles?
Commercial insoles and custom insoles should 
fit the  contours of your shoe and make you 
feel comfortable.  Attached documents that 
rub your feet in the store will  not improve at 
home. The bone-cast medical support  must fit 
snugly. If not, tell your podiatrist. Orthodontics 
is  more expensive than the additions. Your 
insurance  company may cover the cost since 
the brace is a  prescription medical device.
You should schedule a follow-up appointment 
with your  podiatrist to ensure the brace 
works well. Hamilton  orthotics services hope 
you feel your feet getting  better. If you need 
more time, be sure to tell your  podiatrist.
