Custom Orthotics Designed for Diabetes/Neuropathy:
- Shock absorbent heel/forefoot cushioning - aids in dissipating pressure throughout the foot and prevents inflammation.
- Customized arch support - will help to absorb more shock, prevent pronation (rolling in) and alleviate torsional forces throughout the foot.
- Neutral casting - to align your feet and lower limbs in order to place them in the most optimal position for gait.
- Deep heel cup - will lock the heel in place, allow your foot to maintain neutral position and place adipose 'soft' tissue under the heel bone to reduce the effect of impact forces.
- Puff top-cover - materials that provide a memory foam-like padding that wicks away sweat and bacteria while allowing for effective transfer of air and perspiration, resulting in a cool, dry environment.
- EVA shell - in order to prevent ulcer development, promote comfort and maintain structural support.
