WHY YOU MAY NEED ORTHOTIC SUPPORT
|
During midstance, the ankle and heel are misaligned, and your foot has no arch. At heel contact, orthoses limit the swing of your heel so your heel strikes the ground correctly.Excessive motion is controlled.
Our specialty is providing customers with custom made orthotics--affordably and conveniently. By simply inserting a pair of custom orthotics into any pair of shoes (boots, or skates) you wear, many common foot disorders can be alleviated.
Custom-made orthotics are medical devices that support and gently reposition the heel, arch, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the feet, enabling these structures to work together as nature intended, to make each step you take pain-free. Unlike shoe inserts bought over the counter, or gimmicky step-in molds, custom-made orthotics are built from molds of your feet in a specific realignment to meet your unique needs.
They're typically made with comfortable thermoplastic materials, which are guaranteed to last for years, and can be designed to fit in dress shoes, athletic shoes, boots, and skates.
As you walk your heel swings from side to side very slightly, like the pendulum on a clock. If, however, your heel swings too far when you walk or run, your foot may be overpronating, or flattening too much. This incorrect movement stresses and weakens parts of your foot. Over time, you may develop symptoms in your feet ranging from a change in shape to pain when you walk.
At California Foot and Ankle, having custom orthotics made for you has never been simpler or more affordable!
