Improve Your Life With Handmade Orthotics

By Serena Price


Orthotics hold your feet and posture together as you walk. If you are suffering from back problems, use these foot inserts. If you cannot keep your balance properly, use these inserts. Correct your feet if they cave in or out too much. Also, relieve stress caused by all kinds of foot pain. Despite these benefits, buying custom products can be expensive, costing up to $500 minus doctor visits. An affordable option is to make handmade orthotics.

The one thing that you should know right away is that age does not matter. You do not have to suffer from poor health conditions either. Anyone can use orthotics to improve the shape and condition of the feet. From an office worker to an Olympic star, any person should take advantage of its various benefits.

Minor or major problems can be fixed with custom foot arches. These items work well for feet that are taken out of casts. Uneven toes, misaligned feet and back pain are good reasons to receive support. Right after you start wearing the inserts, do not expect to see dramatic results immediately. Whether good or bad, improvements come after months or years of constant wear.

Plantar Fasciitis is one condition that results in badly aligned feet. Even if you wear different pairs of shoes, you may still have problems. Try to stretch the feet and apply ice regularly. If that still does not work, consider getting a long-term solution. Bunions are lumps that appear on one or more toes. They can get bigger and decrease your comfort over time. Causes include excessive pronation and shoes that are too tight. Find the right shoes to wear if you want to get rid of bunions. Morton's Neuroma is a condition that causes irritating tingling on the toes. Being overweight and wearing tight shoes are causes. Sometimes, switching shoes is not enough. Reduce the pain by wearing properly sized insoles.

For any foot problem, you need orthotics that are similar to orthopedic shoes used by diabetics. However, the insoles are easy to put in and remove. Switch the items between different pairs of shoes. However, the insoles may not work for all types of shoes. All brands have different sizes and designs.

If you are more daring, create your insoles from scratch. Use clay to make molded shapes of your feet. Use the right amount of clay so that you do not worsen your foot problem. Then, remove the excessive edges and place the molds in an oven. If you do not like to work with clay, put a marker to cardboard instead.

To create any custom product, you have to make individual measurements. If you make a design for athletic sneakers, it may not work for dress shoes. The whole process usually takes weeks to finish.

If you have flat or misaligned feet, find ways to correct them. Surgery is not always the answer, so it may be necessary to use these arch supports. Create a cheaper version of these professionally made devices. The health and improvement of your feet depends on these handmade orthotics.
