Expert Lakeway, TX Orthotic Therapy
Taking care of your feet is crucial. Foot pain makes walking, working, and even living independently more difficult than it should be. If you are currently seeing an orthopedic specialist for foot pain, post-surgery care, or as part of your treatment for a chronic condition like plantar fasciitis, you may have heard them mention orthotic therapy. Orthotics are medical devices you can insert into your shoes to help reduce chronic pain and correct foot and ankle problems. When properly fitted and used, orthotics can help you avoid surgery and gently correct your condition. Our Lakeway, TX orthotic therapy clinic provides custom-fitted orthotics, as well as therapy to help you get accustomed to wearing them and exercises to help you improve your balance and mobility while using your orthotics.
Your feet can take you anywhere. Let the professional team at Austin Physical Therapy help you travel there. Call our clinic today to learn more about our orthotic fittings and therapy and schedule an appointment with a licensed orthotic therapist.
Why Do I Need Orthotics?
Orthotic devices are recommended for people for many different reasons. Even something that seems as small as having trouble walking or running could be due to an underlying condition that orthotics can treat. And, these devices are intended to make all your movements more comfortable, whether you’re sprinting or strolling.
If you’ve used arch supports or insoles for your shoes, then you’re already familiar with what orthotics can do. Our specialty orthotics go beyond what you can get off the rack at the drugstore. We create dynamic medical devices that can make standing, walking, and running easier, more efficient, and most importantly, pain-free.
Orthotics redistribute the load of your weight more effectively and can be used to:
- Prevent, correct, or accommodate potential foot deformities
- Enhance the overall function of your foot or ankle
- Provide alignment and support for your foot or ankle
Are orthotics right for you? If you’re experiencing pain or discomfort in your feet or ankles or notice that your shoe soles are wearing unevenly, you may have a condition that could benefit from orthotics. Call our orthopedic treatment clinic today to learn more about how our custom therapy and medical devices can help you.
Our Custom-Crafted Orthotics Offer Many Benefits
We begin by assessing your feet, ankles, and gait. We consider your medical history and any injuries or surgeries contributing to painful, difficult walking and running. This may include manual examinations and diagnostic testing to determine the cause of your foot pain and whether any underlying congenital deformity could contribute to your problems.
Then, we create an effective solution involving an orthotic medical device that can change pressure on certain parts of your foot and/ or ankle and relieve your pain. Worn consistently and coupled with proper orthotic and orthopedic physical therapy, these devices can help you avoid invasive surgery and worsening your condition.
