Did you know there are FOUR layers to the feet? 🦶

Although the feet are a small body part, they are packed full of muscles that each have a unique job. As a Pedorthist, it is our job to try to figure out where the issues are stemming from and how to help correct any problems. All these layers make the feet a complex thing to treat, which is why we have been in school for many years to learn how each muscle works.

CUSTOM SHOES MADE FOR YOU!!!

Have those feet that just don’t fit regular shoes? 👞 Hammer toes, bunions, extremely wide feet getting you frustrated? 😣 Need custom shoes but worried they will look bad? 😬

We can help. Our pedorthists at Shantz Orthotic Solutions can help you find a solution. Sometimes stock shoes just don’t cut it and we need to go custom instead. We will cast your feet, take imprints, and take measurements to make sure we can help design the best shoe for you. It’s a fairly lengthy appointment to make sure we get all the measurements and details you need. If you’re looking for something specific or require certain features to get your foot into a shoe, let us know. We work with the talented shoemakers from Steenwyk Custom Shoes & Orthotics who not only have great looking shoes, but superb quality. You might not have pretty feet, but you deserve shoes that feel and look amazing.

If you’ve got questions about custom made footwear, call us or message us below!

Freiberg disease is death of the tissue (necrosis) of parts of the bones in the ball of the foot, usually next to the big toe (the second metatarsal head).

Freiberg disease is a common cause of pain in the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia). The cause is injury to the bone. This disorder usually occurs in girls who are going through puberty and who are growing rapidly or in people in whom the bone connected to the base of the big toe (the first metatarsal bone) is short or the second metatarsal bone is long. In both cases, the second metatarsal head can be subjected to repeated stresses such as during dancing, jogging, or running.
🔹Symptoms: In people with Freiberg's disease, pain is usually worse when bearing weight, particularly when pushing off of the foot, or when wearing high-heeled shoes. The joint may be swollen and stiff.
🔹Testing: X-rays are used to confirm the diagnosis of Freiberg's disease
🔹Treatment: Footwear changes or custom-made orthotics can help to offload the affected joint. Low-heeled shoes with thicker cushioned soles, and rounded toe boxes are ideal. If this is not helpful in relieving inflammation, sometimes corticosteroid injections are used. As a last resort, surgery may be necessary but is rare.

Retrocalcaneal bursitis 👣
Retrocalcaneal bursitis is a condition that causes heel pain. This pain spreads from the bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone. This bursa normally provides a cushion as you walk. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction in areas that rub that are found all over your body.
🔹Symptoms: Can include severe pain and swelling in the heel, tenderness when the heel is touched, tight-fitting shoes may become hard to wear. You may also hear a crackling sound when you flex your foot.
🔹Risks: This type of bursitis is mainly caused by using the ankle a lot, such as running uphill. A sudden increase in running or similar activities can also lead to it. People who wear tight-fitting shoes while exercising are more prone to the condition as well as those who don’t stretch or warm up properly before such activities. Some cases may result from an infection or a disease such as arthritis.
🔹Treatment: The aim of treatment is to ease symptoms so that the bursa has time to heal. At-home and OTC treatment can help manage symptoms such as rest, ice, elevation, compression, and anti-inflammatory medication. Custom-made orthotics can be used to offload pressure on the heel. Properly fitted footwear is also important to ensure the shoe is not too tight and isn't rubbing on the heel. Gentle stretching movements can restore flexibility in your ankle and foot and can also help with pain.
