The Benefits of Orthotic Inserts

Find out what orthotics could do to improve the health of your feet.

Orthotics are inserts that are placed into the shoes to provide additional cushioning and support for your feet. Orthotics can benefit most people, not just people who play sports or those with preexisting foot problems. Here’s what you should know about turning to our Laguna Hills, CA, podiatrists Dr. Neda Arjomandi and Dr. Jody Greenberg for orthotic inserts.

About Custom Orthotics

The shoe inserts that our Laguna Hill, CA, foot and ankle specialists design are specially made to fit each individual’s foot, so you’ll never have two orthotics inserts that are ever the same. This is quite different from orthotics that you find at your local drugstore. This one-size-fits-most approach to foot care doesn’t offer the customized benefits that our orthotics do. In fact, sometimes these drugstore shoe inserts can even make certain foot problems worse.

Here at Laguna Woods Podiatry Group, our custom orthotics are designed to your specific foot care needs. These removable inserts are placed directly into your shoes and are made from impressions taken of your foot. Orthotics can be made from a variety of materials and can be functional or accommodative. When you come in for a consultation, we will discuss your needs to determine the best orthotics for you.

• Rheumatoid arthritis
