Custom Orthotics Review - Best Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis

@DenverCOChiropractor

What's your opinion on a newer way to make custom orthotics... the digital imprint. Many podiatrists swear by it. You step onto a pad and it records a digital foot imprint. That digital imprint is then sent off to a laboratory where they make your custom orthotic. I believe a Podiatrist around here uses the TOG system. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this.

I was diagnosed with plantar about 4 yrs ago,it has since gotten better,but its not totally gone.I wear flat shoes a lot,which do not have any support at all. But if I wear orthotics in my shoes,it kills my arch,I cant stand it,it makes it worse. My heels hurt a lot,not badly in the mornings anymore,Id say I now have it slightly.Why does support of my arch hurt so much,its like torture,lol.

The best custom orthotics are hand made at JR orthotics , located at 929 Park ave, NYC. The tel # is 212-861- 7170 . Ask for Jeffrey, who makes them for various Podiatrists in the area with great results.

Custom orthotics are an expensive waste of time and money they make your feet weak and more prone to further injury. Strengthen your arches over time and check out some of the videos on YouTube about barefoot running. A good book to read also is born to run.

@daves106 I think barefoot walking and running can be a good adjunct activity for some people, you are right. Although for some people it would ruin them. People live on concrete, a surface that is very unnatural and creates weaker feet. SoleSupports orthotics are dynamic, they don’t block movement or muscle activity – they control it and allow for comfort and shock reduction on concrete, unlike the majority of orthotics on the market.

@DenverCOChiropractor FYI Many foot surgeries are expensive and a waste of money.

Where can I buy one? Do I get it from my MD?

[DenverCOChiropractor]

@edgarjeuneroxas Llet me know what town you are in and I will find a provider for you. (Podiatrist, ATC, PT or chiropractor). Most MDs are not trained in this technology and as you saw in the video, this is the most advanced science in custom foot orthotics (they are cast in a very unique way that enhances the function of the foot, not just covering up foot pain symptoms).

Wow...these look awesome. I have provided Plantar Fasciitis treatment in San Francisco for many years now and it can be very difficult to treat. I have tried chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, massage, and ART with mixed results. These orthotics look worth trying out.
