Custom foot orthotics are medical devices designed to fit discreetly into your footwear, offering enhanced support, improving alignment, and alleviating discomfort by redistributing pressure more evenly. They are available in various styles and materials, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. Crafted from high-quality materials, custom orthotics are personalized to provide the best fit and effectiveness.
These orthotics are particularly beneficial for managing specific foot and lower limb conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, tendonitis, and plantar fasciitis. When prescribed correctly, they can reduce the need for surgery and prevent further complications. Much like eyeglasses or contact lenses improve vision, foot orthotics help optimize foot function, boosting mobility, enhancing performance, and providing pain relief.
Proper footwear is a key component of your treatment plan. During your assessment, we will evaluate your current shoes and recommend the best footwear for your foot type and new orthotics. ProStride offers a wide range of footwear options compatible with orthotic devices, and if needed, the Pedorthist can also make custom modifications to your shoes.
Compression stockings help relieve tired, achy legs, reduce swelling, and alleviate symptoms of varicose veins and venous insufficiency. Available in various colors, styles, and compression levels, these stockings offer numerous benefits during pregnancy, travel, and for specific foot and lower limb conditions. Prolonged standing or sitting can cause blood to pool in the lower legs, leading to discomfort and potentially causing edema. By improving circulation, compression stockings help reduce swelling and ease leg fatigue.
At ProStride, we provide a wide range of prefabricated, over-the-counter braces designed to treat both upper and lower limb conditions.
Upper-limb orthoses are external medical devices used to enhance or restore function in the upper body. These devices can help manage injuries caused by neurological conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or peripheral neuropathy. Common types include wrist, hand, and arm orthoses.
Lower-limb orthoses, on the other hand, are applied externally to the lower body to improve or restore function by controlling movement, providing support, stabilizing gait, and reducing discomfort. These devices include, but are not limited to, knee, ankle, and foot orthoses.
Over-the-counter inserts may be a suitable option for addressing minor foot issues, such as arch pain. These inserts are affordable and work well for individuals with an average arch height, low-grade foot conditions, and generally good lower extremity biomechanics. During your assessment, we evaluate your bone structure alignment and fit you with the most appropriate OTC arch support based on your specific foot type and diagnosis. Additionally, we can modify these inserts to provide a more personalized fit by relieving pressure on sensitive areas.
