Our Custom Functional Orthotic is used to correct abnormal foot function and, in so doing, also correct for abnormal lower extremity function. Some types of functional foot orthoses may also be designed to accommodate painful areas on the bottoms of the foot, just like accommodative foot orthoses.
Functional foot orthoses may be made of flexible, semi-rigid or rigid plastic or graphite materials. Functional foot orthoses are also useful in the treatment of a wide variety of painful conditions of the foot and lower extremities. Big toe joint and lesser toe joint pain, arch and instep pain, ankle pain, and heel pain are commonly also used to treat tendinitis and bursitis conditions in the ankle, knee, and hip, in addition to shin splints in the legs.
