Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are tailored for you to support and provide comfort for your feet. The process involves taking a detailed impression of your feet, to ensure that the orthotics match your feet’s exact shape, size, and structure.
Custom orthotics serve several purposes and can provide relief for a variety of foot and ankle issues:
- Correcting Foot Abnormalities for flat feet or high arches.
- Reducing Pain: Alleviating pain up the kinetic chain: feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back by redistributing weight and relieving pressure on painful areas, such as heel spurs or bony prominences.
- Improving Function: Enhance walking, running, and athletic performance.
- Injury Prevention: Overuse injuries and poor foot mechanics, such as plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and stress fractures, by providing the necessary support and shock absorption.
- Accommodating and Protecting the Foot: They can help accommodate and cushion the foot, especially in the case of diabetic neuropathy or arthritic conditions, where there’s a need to prevent ulcers or relieve painful pressure points.
If you are experiencing foot or ankle problems and would custom orthotics, please make an appointment to see Dr. Lana Schikman at 11960 Metropolitan Ave, Kew Gardens, NY, 11415.
