Orthotics are custom made inserts that fit in
your shoes and are intended to correct an abnormal, or irregular,
walking pattern. These inserts are much more than “arch
supports” in that they are fitted for your feet only. They
perform functions that allow standing, walking, and running to be more
comfortable and efficient, by altering slightly the angles at which the
foot strikes a walking or running surface. This can also lead to a
reduction or elimination of foot, knee, hip or back pain.
Custom orthotic inserts are not for everyone.
Dr. Boudreau can determine if this product is warranted for you by
performing a history and examination. Casting to make this product is
comfortable and the lab can usually construct your orthotics within
5-10 business days.
There is a wide range of inserts available for
all types of footwear, including dress shoes and sneakers. Special
inserts can be made for sensitive or diabetic feet, avid runners or
even kids. Dr. Boudreau can also cast orthotics especially designed for
specific activities such as skiing, skating or playing golf.
If you require biomechanical foot support year
round and want to wear sandals, we can build the orthotic into a pair.
In fact, there is a large selection of custom built orthotic footwear
available through the clinic including: garden clogs, dress shoes,
runners, steel toe boots and more! Check out all the products at www.theorthoticgroup.com .
