Custom Orthotics: Find the Perfect Fit for Your Feet
Are you tired of persistent foot pain and discomfort?
Custom orthotics might be the solution you’re looking for.
At The Jackson Clinics, we specialize in creating orthotics tailored to your unique needs.
Whether you have flat feet, high arches, or other foot conditions, our custom orthotics can offer the support and stability your feet require.
― Why Choose Custom Orthotics?
Your body is a complex mechanical system. To prevent mechanical breakdown with common activities like standing, walking and running, the joints and muscles of your legs and feet need good alignment, strength and endurance.
Custom orthotics are specially designed inserts that provide support, stability, and relief from various foot conditions. Crafted to fit the unique shape of your feet, they offer a personalized solution for your specific needs.
Key benefits include:
- Pain Relief: Alleviate foot pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis and flat feet by redistributing pressure and providing cushioning.
- Improved Balance and Stability: Align your feet and ankles, promoting proper body alignment and reducing the risk of falls and injuries.
- Prevention and Treatment: Manage and prevent conditions like bunions, shin splints, and Achilles tendonitis by reducing strain on affected areas and promoting proper foot mechanics.
Finding the Right Custom Orthotics for Your Lifestyle
Selecting the appropriate custom orthotics is crucial.
We design a variety of custom orthotics to meet the unique needs of our patients:
- Athletes and Active Individuals: Orthotics designed for high-impact activities, made with durable materials to withstand rigorous training and competition. Ideal for runners, basketball players, or cyclists, these orthotics enhance performance and prevent injuries.
- Everyday Wear and Work: Orthotics that prioritize comfort and functionality, fitting seamlessly into regular shoes. Perfect for those who spend long hours on their feet or need extra support during daily activities.
Our team will work closely with you to determine the best custom orthotics for your lifestyle, considering your specific needs, activity level, and existing foot conditions.
― The Process of Getting Custom Orthotics
What do physical therapists do in orthotics?
At The Jackson Clinics, our specialized physical therapists are trained to assess your mechanical system using a state-of-the-art biomechanical movement evaluation.
Based on this analysis, they will prescribe insoles or custom orthotics for your feet. Your orthotics will be molded directly to your foot, and your physical therapist will prescribe alterations to maximize your pain relief and performance when you wear them.
Here’s what to expect:
- Assessment: We start with a thorough examination of your feet and lower limbs, discussing your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments. Our clinicians evaluate your gait, foot structure, and alignment to identify the causes of your pain.
- Measurements: Using advanced technology like 3D scanning, pressure mapping, or foam impressions, we capture precise measurements of your feet to ensure a perfect fit.
- Crafting: Our expert orthotic craftsmen use high-quality materials and cutting-edge techniques to create your custom orthotics, tailored to your unique needs.
- Fitting: Once ready, we ensure your orthotics fit perfectly and provide the support and comfort you need.
Additionally, The Jackson Clinics provides complimentary orthotics check-ups every year to make sure they are still optimally serving your needs.
During that 15 minute screen, the therapist will also check in on your exercise routine and progress the intensity to fit your goals.
Caring for and Maintaining Your Custom Orthotics
Proper care and maintenance are essential for the longevity and effectiveness of your custom orthotics.
Follow these tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe your orthotics with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging them in water. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in your shoes.
- Sanitizing: Use a disinfectant spray or wipes designed for orthotics, especially if you have foot conditions requiring additional hygiene measures.
- Replacement: Look for signs of wear, such as cracks, thinning materials, or loss of support. If you experience discomfort or notice decreased effectiveness, it may be time for a replacement. Consult your healthcare provider or orthotics specialist for guidance.
- Maximizing Lifespan:
- Rotate your orthotics between different pairs of shoes.
- Avoid exposing them to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
- Keep your shoes clean and dry to prevent bacterial or fungal growth.
- Store your orthotics in a cool, dry place when not in use.
By following these care and maintenance tips, you can ensure your custom orthotics continue to provide the support and comfort you need.
