Foot Pain and Orthotics

Foot pain from flat feet, fallen arches, neuromas, plantar faciitis, heel spurs, bunions, etc. can be helped by orthotics.
An orthotic is defined as a device for supporting, treating, or immobilizing specific muscles or joints that are weak from injury, deformation, or ineffectiveness.  Many people use them to correct structural issues of the foot.
Most people think that orthotics are ugly and cumbersome; yet, the truth is that most orthotics fit into your regular shoes and are unseen. 
At first they may be uncomfortable due to the newness and correcting of your problem/diagnosis: after a few days you get used to them, and your feet start feeling better.  You may even notice that your whole body feels better!
Orthotics can be purchased over the counter, but they can also be custom made for your specific difficulty.  Here at Angleton Danbury Medical Center Rehab we offer custom made orthotics.  For more information please feel free to call us at 979-848-9195.
