Orthotics at Alliance Orthopedics
Orthotics are specialized insoles that can help correct biomechanical foot issues to make running and walking more comfortable. The foot and ankle specialist at Alliance Orthopedics, Dr. Ammar Saymeh, DPM, utilizes a high-tech 3D scanner to conveniently create customized orthotic inserts for your running sneakers.
Who Can Benefit from Orthotics?
Orthotics can be used to treat a number of issues, including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome (runner’s knee)
- Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS)
- Shin splints
- Flat feet
- High arches
How Do Orthotics Work?
Orthotics work by correcting the alignment of your foot and lower extremities. This can help relieve pressure on certain areas of your feet, ankles, knees, and hips. Orthotics can also improve your balance and stability while walking or running.
Why Custom Orthotics Are Right for You
Custom orthotics are generally more effective than OTC orthotics because they are made to fit your feet specifically. Therefore, we recommend our patients schedule an appointment with Dr. Saymeh at Alliance Orthopedics to get fitted for their perfect set of custom orthotics.
The Orthotics Process
Custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet. They are molded from a
3D scan of your feet and then fabricated to your specific needs.
