Customised Foot Orthoses are medical insoles that sit in your shoes and control the way that you walk. They are prescribed by Podiatrists to help prevent injuries and improve the alignment of your body’s structures. Customised foot orthoses can be conditions-specific or function-specific, which means that they can be designed to either treat an injury or to improve our posture and gait pattern.
As Podiatrists, we always hear, “aren’t insoles for just arch support?”. No, it is not true.
Customised foot orthoses are not just arch support. There are hundreds of modifications and designs that a Podiatrist can prescribe, and each design has a unique effect on the forces acting on our foot. This is known as “orthotic reaction force”. This orthotic reaction force will also affect the way our foot moves during a walk or run.
There are conditions where customised foot orthoses are designed to not provide any arch support, because excessive arch support under an unstable foot may cause more problems such as ankle sprains or tendon injuries.
Customised foot orthoses are made unique for you. Just like dental braces or prescription glasses, you don’t put on someone else’s.
