Why Orthotics are Used

Why Orthotics are Used

Foot pain can occur for a number of reasons. You may have an injury to your foot, arthritis, or a problem with a lack of support in your arches. At ARP Foot and Ankle Clinic in both Mountain Home and Harrison clinic locations, Dr. Eric Arp will take a careful look at your feet to determine if orthotics are right for you. If you have pain in your arches, or you are struggling with heel pain after exercising, it's important that your feet get the support they need to stay healthy. Custom orthotics are used to ease pain in your feet, making it easier for you to get the exercise you need to stay healthy.

Why Orthotics are Used

Orthotics are used to help take care of your feet, easing the pain that comes from poor arch support. If you have heel pain, struggling with plantar fasciitis, or your feet ache after exercise, Dr. Arp may suggest orthotics to help protect your feet when you are walking, running, or exercising. Orthotics support your feet, and are used to provide optimal cushioning for when you are participating in any activity where you have to put weight on your feet. Orthotics make it possible to wear a variety of shoes, without having to have specific shoes made that provide orthotic support.

How to Get Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics are possible when you work with a podiatrist in Mountain Home and Harrison, AR to get the care you need. Dr. Arp will measure your feet, and take castings that are then sent off for your orthotics to be created. Once the castings are sent, you will receive your custom pair of orthotics within a short time. The orthotics will fit into your shoes, and should be worn at all times for maximum benefit. If you believe you need custom orthotics for better foot support, it's important to see a podiatrist that can evaluate the condition of your feet.
