What are orthotics and how do they help?
Orthotics are custom-made devices that support and improve the way your feet function. Fitted to the unique shape and mechanics of your foot, they’re a key tool in managing a wide range of foot and ankle problems. Patients typically benefit from: added support for the foot and ankle joints; improved alignment that reduces strain on muscles and ligaments; and relief from pain caused by conditions like flat feet or arthritis.
Who can benefit from orthotics?
Orthotics help a broad range of patients. They help particularly anyone dealing with: chronic foot pain or discomfort; biomechanical imbalances that lead to foot and ankle problems; or specific conditions such as plantar fasciitis, bunions, or diabetic foot complications.
How do we fit and provide orthotics?
At Meleca Foot and Ankle, we provide orthotics tailored to each patient’s needs. That starts with a thorough assessment to determine your specific requirements, followed by custom design and fitting for maximum comfort and effectiveness, plus ongoing support and adjustments as needed.
What can I expect when adjusting to orthotics?
Getting used to new orthotics takes a short adjustment period, but with the right guidance it’s a smooth transition. Our team provides clear instructions on using and caring for your orthotics, helps you work them into your daily routine, and schedules regular check-ups to confirm they’re comfortable and doing their job.
