Signs You May Need Custom Orthotics
Common signs that custom orthotics may be worth discussing, including heel pain, arch strain, uneven shoe wear, and long days on your feet.
Recurring pain is a common signal
Foot pain, heel pain, arch discomfort, knee strain, hip discomfort, or lower back pain can sometimes be connected to how the feet absorb pressure and support the body.
Custom orthotics may be worth discussing if symptoms return often, especially after standing, walking, work shifts, or exercise.
Look at your shoe wear
Shoes that wear heavily on one side, collapse inward, or feel unstable may point to uneven pressure or gait patterns.
Wear patterns do not diagnose a problem on their own, but they can provide helpful clues during an orthotic assessment.
Ask a healthcare professional
Custom orthotics should be considered alongside medical advice, especially if symptoms are severe, sudden, or linked to injury or health conditions.
