How Orthotics Function
Orthotics operate by furnishing support to alleviate strain on painful areas, rectify imbalances, or address dysfunctions in movement patterns. For instance, in cases of heel pain, orthotics offer cushioning and enhanced heel and arch support, redistributing weight to other areas of the foot and relieving pressure on the heel.
To ensure optimal correction tailored to your unique needs, our orthotics undergo a meticulous design process based on an assessment of your symptoms, foot shape, and movement patterns. We initiate the process by discussing your medical history, concerns, and desired outcomes. Subsequently, our assessment encompasses gait analysis, biomechanical evaluation, and the creation of foot impressions, culminating in orthotics precisely tailored to restore proper foot alignment.
Types of Orthotics
- Accommodative Orthotics provide padding and support to take the strain off the problem areas of your foot. They are great for providing rapid relief from painfu feet and helping your feet heal.
- Functional Orthotics are designed to correct the mechanics of your feet. The way they are shaped and how they support the foot can correct the way your weight is distributed, improve your posture, or change the way you walk. By retraining your body to move more efficiently, these orthotics can correct your foot issues that cause pain elsewhere in the body, such as in your knees, legs, or back.
Your Personalized Orthotic Solution
While generic orthotics available off-the-shelf may be tempting, Activa Clinics emphasizes the paramount importance of custom-made orthotics. Unlike one-size-fits-all alternatives, our orthotics are meticulously designed exclusively for you, ensuring effective and tailored results. Opting for custom solutions significantly contributes to addressing your unique issues and preventing exacerbation of existing problems, setting the stage for improved foot health.
