ORTHOTICS

Orthotics are devices inserted into shoes in order to provide support for the feet by redistributing ground reaction forces acting on the feet joints while standing, walking or running.

 

What are ORTHOTICS needed for?

 

Chiropodists and podiatrists are making orthotics to treat foot pain, pathology such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, bunions pain, diabetic foot ulcers, heel pain, etc. Orthotics are also worn to correct foot position such as flat feet, high arch, internal walks, equally ankle and knee issues. They are often a repercussion of a foot issue. An altered balance due to a foot problem can also be the cause of back pain.

 

PODIAPRO can supply the last generation of equipment for podiatrists / chiropodists to make orthotics in their clinic, on the day of the consultation. Our Feet Print 5.0 is using an arch corrector to obtain a proper print of the foot and mold precise orthotics made to apply the specific correction necessary to improve the foot position and mobility. The variety in specifications and the precision in the making of each orthotic is the certainty of an appropriate treatment for each pathology.

 

Only one consultation is usually required and most of the insoles are light and thin, therefore it is not required for the patient to change the shoes.
