Orthotics are medical devices often customized and prescribed by a foot and ankle surgeon. They’re different from shoe inserts and arch supports in that they have two functions: Orthotics can be used to accommodate or offload a prominent area, helping aid bursitis, calluses beneath bony prominences and ulcers. They can also help the foot function better in the case of hypermobility seen in tendonitis, fasciitis and other mechanically derived conditions. They can help support and align the foot and lower extremities as well.

Orthotics can help delay the need for surgery and can help with pain following a surgery if an optimal result was not possible or achieved.

See a foot and ankle surgeon to determine if orthotics could help you in your day-to-day life.

Call 703-291-6334 for your diabetic foot exam or even book online

Did you know athletes living with diabetes are at a significantly greater risk of sustaining stress fractures, sprains and other foot and ankle injuries than nondiabetic athletes? A key reason is that many athletes living with diabetes have neuropathy, the diminished sensation from nerve damage in the foot, and are simply not aware that they’ve been injured or have pain. Other foot problems associated with the disease can include poor circulation coupled with a compromised immune system that increases the risk of infection and the restricted delivery of oxygen and other nutrients to the affected area. This does not mean that athletes living with diabetes must stay away from sports and exercise. The point is that athletes living with diabetes must take special care of their feet and should make a foot and ankle surgeon a part of their care team.

Temps are warming up which means sweaty feet are more common! The number of sweat glands is most dense in the feet and hands. Sweaty feet are a common disorder in which the sweat glands of the feet produce excessive sweat. Persons with this condition usually have a genetic predisposition or are under stress, which activates the brain to produce more sweat to keep the body cool. Athlete’s foot or smelly feet may accompany sweaty feet. A foot and ankle surgeon can recommend a variety of treatments.
