Foot Pain

If you notice pain in the inner soles of your feet or your arches you could benefit from the extra support of orthotics. Sharp pain in the heel is a sign of plantar fasciitis and many plantar fasciitis patients reduce their pain with heel orthotics. Custom orthotics are molded to your feet and can help keep the bones in your feet aligned as you walk, preventing pain in your knees, hips, and even lower back.

Shoes Wearing Unevenly

If you notice your shoes wear unevenly or feel like you always need to replace your shoes, it could be a sign of different leg lengths or that you have pronation (inward rolling) or supination (outward rolling). When you come to your podiatrist, bring the shoes you wear most often. The doctor evaluates your gait and examines your shoes to identify what could be causing them to wear unevenly. When you get custom orthotics in Southern Pines, NC, they can be fit to help maintain your balance and prevent injury.

Heavy Activity

It is normal to have some aches and pains in your feet after long or strenuous activity. So if you are an athlete or you work on your feet all day, custom orthotics are a smart investment. They support your heel and arch and provide extra cushion to prevent pain when you are very active.
