What Orthotics Can Do for You

Orthotics can be helpful for a number of foot conditions and can ease pain and prevent them from getting worse. Although you can buy orthotic devices from your local pharmacy, custom orthotics are ones that are specially designed to suit your feet. Dr. Tina Boucher at Central Connecticut Footcare Center in Meriden, CT can provide custom orthotics.

What are Orthotics?

Orthotics are special devices such as heel inserts. Custom orthotics are created by measuring your feet and, if necessary, taking X-rays to get the right fit so that the device can improve your specific condition.

When Might you Need Custom Orthotics?

Orthotics devices can be helpful for certain types of foot injury or conditions including:

  • Heel pain: caused by conditions such as plantar fasciitis
  • Lower back pain: by stabilizing your feet and keeping them in the correct position
  • General foot discomfort: by helping flat feet, or fallen arches
  • Specific sports: if you do a lot of running orthotics can help add support

How Orthotics Can Help Your Feet

Orthotics offer assistance to your feet in that they reduce strain and stress and bring your feet and posture back into alignment.

If you think you need orthotics you should speak to a podiatrist. They will discuss your medical history and your symptoms. They will then make a thorough physical examination of your feet. They will look for any deformities, problems with the way you walk, and issues with your posture. They will also ask you about areas of your feet that are particularly painful.

If you want to find out more about how custom orthotics can help you, contact Dr. Tina Boucher of Central Connecticut Footcare Center in Meriden, CT at (203) 238-3668 today and start by putting your right foot forward.
