Custom Orthotics Designed for Osteoarthritis in the Toes:
- First ray extension - A plastic extension that sits under the greater toe that prevents extension and flexion in the joint.
- Metatarsal pad - a triangular shaped padding that sits behind the bases of your toes to help spread the joint capsule and prevent inflammation.
- Full length posting - may be necessary if you are walking in an abducted 'duck' stance position or coming off the inside of the greater toe, causing torsion affects up the leg - to the knee.
- When you come off the inside of the greater toe, it can pinch the joint space and cause inflammation.
- Forefoot/heel padding - to reduce the effect of impact forces at the joints of the toes and up the leg.
- Customized arch support - dissipates pressure throughout the foot and knee.
- Neutral casting - to align your feet and lower limbs in order to place them in the most optimal position for gait.
