We Offer Custom Molded Orthotics

There are many causes for heel, ankle and foot pain in your feet, including plantar fasciitis, heel bursitis, heel spurs, tarsal tunnel syndrome, Achilles tendonitis, heel bumps, or Sever's disease. One of the effective treatments for many causes of heel pain, especially biomechanical problems, is custom molded orthotics. Orthotics, or orthotic devices are shoe inserts that help correct the problems in your feet by realigning the foot. This realignment can even help with pain in other joints like the knees, hips, and back. There are other benefits to orthotics as well, like preventative treatment, added comfort and support, relief of fatigue, improved balance, and improved athletic performance.

The orthotics we offer are custom made to fit your feet. We scan your feet digitally to get the best three dimensional map of your foot, which allows us to create an orthotic specifically for you to help with your personal foot alignment. Orthotics compensate for existing imbalances and in most cases relieve or prevent the pains associated with these imbalance. If you think you may be a candidate for custom molded orthotics due to your symptoms or a previous diagnosis, give our office a call to set up an appointment. There is also more information available on our other blogs and on our website: http://www.vailfoot.com/. We are here to help.
