There are many different types of in-shoe devices that are referred to or marketed to the public as "orthotics". You will see "orthotics" in TV infomercials, booths at consumer shows as well as a growing number of retails stores and specialty shoe stores. Arch supports and insoles sold in drug stores, shoe stores and sporting goods stores are now being called orthotics. Most consumers don't know the difference between a true custom made prescription foot orthotic and an "orthotic" you can purchase from a retail store or a booth at a consumer trade show.
The following information will help educate you, so you are able to make an informed decision regarding your foot health when being prescribed or when purchasing a custom made prescription foot orthotic.
CUSTOM MADE PRESCRIPTION FOOT ORTHOTICS
Custom foot orthotics are medical devices that are custom made and are worn inside your shoes. They are designed to control the functions of the foot and the alignment of the foot with the lower leg and/or accommodate painful areas of the foot such as a painful pressure point or a corn. Most patients have very good results with custom foot orthotic therapy when worn in combination with well built stable shoes as opposed to old worn out shoes. Treatment with custom foot orthotics can result in a dramatic decrease or total reduction of pain in the feet for conditions such as heel pain, bone spurs and plantar fasciitis as well as pain in the lower legs, knees, hips and lower back.
