Struggling with foot pain, discomfort, or even pain in your knees or back? The culprit might be right under your feet! Custom orthotics could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for to relieve pain, improve your posture, and get you moving comfortably again. Keep reading to find out if you’re experiencing symptoms that might require orthotics—and what the quick and easy scanning process at Bloomfield Family Footcare involves!
Do You Have Any of These Symptoms? You Might Need Orthotics!
1. Constant Foot Pain
Does it feel like you’re walking on pins and needles or that your heels are on fire? Foot pain, whether in your heels, arches, or toes, is often the first sign that your feet need extra support. Custom orthotics are designed to relieve pressure and provide the perfect arch support, no matter your foot shape.
2. Ankle Pain or Rolling Ankles Do your ankles feel weak or unstable? Orthotics can stabilize your feet and ankles, helping you avoid injuries like sprains and strains. If you’re
tired of feeling off-balance, custom orthotics could be the solution.
3. Knee, Hip, or Lower Back Pain
Believe it or not, foot misalignment can lead to pain in your knees, hips, or even your lower back! When your feet aren’t properly supported, your whole body is thrown out of alignment. Correct that foundation with custom orthotics, and you may notice your overall pain improving!
4. Calluses or Corns
If you notice thick patches of skin on your feet, it could mean that pressure is unevenly distributed when you walk. Orthotics can correct this, reducing painful calluses and corns by distributing your weight more evenly across your feet.
5. Tired, Achy Legs or Tendonitis
Does it feel like your legs are always tired, or do you suffer from recurring shin splints? Orthotics can help by providing the shock absorption your feet need to prevent strain on your muscles and tendons.
The Easy Process of Getting Scanned for Custom Orthotics
Getting fitted for orthotics isn’t complicated or time-consuming—it’s a quick and painless process! Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Consultation with the Podiatrist
During your visit, we’ll start with a personal consultation to discuss your symptoms and concerns. This gives us a full picture of what’s going on, from foot pain to any other discomfort you’re feeling. We’ll take a look at your feet, analyze how you walk, and check for anything unusual.
Step 2: Quick & Painless 3D Foot Scan
Here’s where the magic happens! You’ll stand barefoot on a special platform while a 3D scanner captures a detailed image of your feet. This scan measures every curve, pressure point, and alignment issue, giving us the data we need to create custom orthotics tailored perfectly for you. Don’t worry—the scan only takes a few minutes and is completely painless!
Step 3: Your Custom Orthotics Are Ready!
After we’ve analyzed your foot scan, your custom orthotics will be crafted to address your specific needs. Whether you need extra arch support, cushioning for heel pain, or correction for foot misalignment, your orthotics will be uniquely designed for your feet only.
What Are the Benefits of Custom Orthotics?
• Relief from Pain: Whether it’s foot pain, knee discomfort, or back aches, orthotics work by realigning your body and easing the strain on muscles and joints.
• Better Posture: Orthotics can improve your posture by supporting your feet correctly, reducing pressure on your entire body.
