Question and Answers about MWPT’s Custom Foot Orthotics

Just what the doctor ordered!
What part of your body suffers the most physical stress daily? Your feet! Your feet are the foundation of support for your entire body. Most foot pain is the result of faulty alignment and function of the bones and muscles of your legs. With each step you take, more than 26 foot and ankle bones and 208 muscles are used which affect your knees, hips and lower back. So it is not surprising that many knee, hip and back pains are a result of poor functioning feet.

Our physical therapists are specially trained to make orthotics to fit your feet.
Your physical therapist will do a complete evaluation of your lower extremity structure, alignment and function and will evaluate your gait. Your therapist will then fabricate your foot orthotics, custom-made to the specific contours and structural characteristics of your feet.

What do foot orthotics do?
Custom foot orthotics are supportive devices that are worn in your shoes and position your foot in proper alignment. The orthotics support the foot and ankle and align the joints within your foot, resulting in more normalized weight distribution and a significant reduction in pain and discomfort.

Who can benefit from custom foot orthotics?
Everyone can benefit from proper foot support. Specifically, if you suffer from foot,
shin, knee, hip, or back pain, you will see a significant benefit. Even those without specific problems will see the benefits of better support and comfort, especially athletes or people who are on their feet a lot. Age, weight and activity create the need for better
foot support. Think preventive; help eliminate potential problems.

Do custom foot orthotics require special shoes?
Orthotics can be made to fit in most shoes. The better your shoe, the better your orthotics will work. Comfortable walking shoes with removable insoles work the best.
