Custom Orthotics Designed for Plantar Fasciitis and Arch Pain:
- Customized arch support - will shorten the plantar fascia and prevent further tearing.
- Shock absorbent heel cushioning - aids in dissipating pressure throughout the foot and prevents inflammation in the plantar fascia region.
- Mild heel lift - will transfer the weight away from the plantar fascia region and shift the pressure towards the forefoot.
- Mild posting - may be necessary if you are walking in an abducted 'duck stance' position or coming off the inside of the greater toe causing torsional strain in the arch.
- 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 a neutral position and place adipose 'soft' tissue under the heel bone to reduce the effect of impact forces.
- Perforated top-cover - materials that wicks away sweat and bacteria while allowing for effective transfer of air and perspiration, resulting in a cool, dry environment.
