Custom Orthotics in Viera, FL
At Viera Podiatry, serving Viera, FL, and the nearby regions, Dr. Sienna Day can fit you for a custom orthotic to help or prevent certain foot problems. While you can purchase orthotics in stores, the ones created by our podiatrist are specifically tailored to your foot to optimize the amount of support you receive and ensure a comfortable fit.
When We Recommend Orthotics
At our practice, we may suggest a custom orthotic for athletes, those who are on their feet for work for prolonged periods, and diabetics, in particular, who may want to wear orthotics for preventative purposes. Your fascia and other tissue receive adequate support, which can prevent an array of issues, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic-related ulceration.
Besides for preventative measures, our Viera, FL, podiatrist may recommend custom orthotics if you have any of the following:
- Plantar fasciitis
- High arches
- Flat feet
- Suffer from general foot pain
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
How We Create a Custom Orthotic
Creating a custom orthotic is a multi-step process that ensures you receive one tailored specifically to your foot and will benefit you the most.
We'll begin the process with a thorough evaluation of your feet. We'll ask about any surgeries you had or foot problems you currently have. We'll also want to know about any medical conditions you have or medications you take.
Then, once we decide a custom orthotic is right for you, we'll cast the mold of your foot. We'll take impressions and use an advanced imaging procedure to obtain all the dimensions of your foot and its exact shape. For the casting process, a machine will create the orthotic.
Once we receive the orthotic and you come to us to receive it, we'll make sure it's the right fit.
Why Opt for Custom Orthotics
While you may wonder why you should spend more and take the time for a custom orthotic, you'll absolutely notice the difference when you're wearing it. A custom orthotic is more effective at managing a condition or preventing one from occurring.
Overall, a custom orthotic tends to be more comfortable than a premade, store-bought one. We also take the time to ensure it's the right fit and can alter it as necessary to ensure your comfort if you're having trouble wearing it.
Not to mention, orthotics provided by a podiatrist consist of higher quality materials than standard ones, which means the ones from our office will last longer.
