Custom Orthotics
Orthotics, also known as arch supports or shoe inserts come in a variety of types, shapes and materials. There are over the counter (OTC) orthotics and custom-made orthotics. These devices can then be further subdivided into accommodative orthotics and functional orthotics.
Over the counter (OTC) Orthotics are readily available in many drug and shoe stores and should be inexpensive. They are a compromise in arch height and support in order to cater to a wider range of people. Some patients may get relief using such OTC devices, however, they are often inadequate in that they do not provide sufficient support, shock absorption, or a proper fit. People purchasing “custom-made orthotics” from shoe stores are often simply receiving OTC orthotics which have been heat molded to better match the shape of their foot. They are also unfortunately charged fees, which should be reserved for authentic custom-made orthotics.

You see, our legs and feet are two of the most used parts of our body. Given this, they are also two of the most important. The stress of everyday activity can take a toll on them over time, causing varicose veins, aching legs, or the gradual hardening of the fatty tissue below the skin, and other lymphatic and venous diseases. When calf muscles contract, they involve major veins in the leg, pushing the blood from the legs to the heart. A few companies have capitalized on this idea, the concept of increasing the circulation of the blood and providing less pressure on the lower leg and foot. Compression Stocking Therapy is one of the best solutions.
