What Orthotics Can Do for You

Custom Orthotics at South Jersey Foot and Ankle Specialists in Vineland, NJ

Do you struggle with foot pain or difficulty walking? Do your feet ache no matter how well-fitted your shoes are? Dr. Belancio at South Jersey Foot and Ankle Specialists in Vineland, NJ can help. A simple yet effective solution could be custom orthotics designed to improve musculoskeletal issues in the feet, legs, or lower back.

What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are foot inserts that correct irregular or abnormal walking patterns. They can help make daily activities—such as standing, walking, and running—much more comfortable. At South Jersey Foot and Ankle Specialists, we offer custom-made orthotics to:

• Correct foot deformities
• Support ankles
• Reduce the risk of future injuries
• Improve overall foot and ankle function

What Can Orthotics Help Treat?

Custom orthotics are often used when other conservative treatments haven’t provided sufficient relief. They can help with a variety of conditions, including:

• Arthritis
• Lower back pain
• Bunions
• Bursitis
• Diabetes
• Flat feet
• Hammertoe
• Plantar fasciitis
• Sports injuries
• Underdeveloped foot or leg muscles

Different Types of Orthotics

At South Jersey Foot and Ankle Specialists, we offer several types of orthotics, each designed to meet specific needs:

• Rigid orthotics: Made of carbon fiber or plastic to absorb shock, improve balance, and relieve pressure from sore spots.
• Accommodative orthotics: Soft, padded devices that benefit people with diabetes or arthritis.
• Customized orthotics: Available in various types, including dress and sports orthotics, to fit your lifestyle.

Are Orthotics Right for You?

A trained podiatrist at South Jersey Foot and Ankle Specialists in Vineland, NJ will determine your orthotic type. After examining your feet and ankles, reviewing your medical history, and discussing your symptoms, we’ll create a customized treatment plan.

How Are Orthotics Made?

The process for making rigid, accommodative, or customized orthotics is similar. Your podiatrist will take a plaster cast of your foot and send it to a lab, where a custom foot device is created to help make your life more comfortable and pain-free.
