Orthopedic insoles - individual selection

The human foot is a very complex mechanism. It is on the foot that the entire human body rests when walking, so it is rightly called the foundation of the entire musculoskeletal system. A person’s well-being largely depends on how correctly the impact force is distributed on the foot when walking. Properly selected orthopedic insoles can help overcome these inconveniences.

General recommendations for selection

Correctly selected corrective orthopedic insoles help get rid of many diseases of the musculoskeletal system, as well as their consequences. Based on their purpose, these accessories are divided into therapeutic and preventive. Accordingly, you should consider what result you want to achieve from wearing insoles - to cure or prevent foot diseases. The selection is carried out in accordance with the person’s age, weight, and lifestyle. Inserts for adults differ significantly from products for children.

An error with the size can not only bring no benefit, but also aggravate the person’s condition. Among the general recommendations for the selection of orthopedic insoles:

  • Tight fit to shoes. The product should not move or form folds when walking
  • The shape of the surface must comply with the doctor’s recommendations
  • First, an orthopedic insert is selected, and then shoes to go with it

Structurally, all orthopedic footprints are similar to each other. Their mandatory parts are:

  • Heel recess
  • Laying out the longitudinal arch, i.e. elevation under the arches of the feet
  • Laying out the transverse arch

There are also products that contain only one of the above elements. For example, insoles with a transverse arch are designed for high-heeled shoes.

The most popular orthopedic inserts are frame ones. The rigid frame provides good shock absorption when walking, improving the spring function of the feet. They are ideal for people with flat feet, for whom, due to the disease, when walking, the load is placed on the entire musculoskeletal system, since there is no natural shock absorption.

General recommendations for selection

Classification of orthopedic insoles

Depending on the patient's goals, doctors recommend therapeutic or preventative products.

Preventive orthopedic insoles

Prevention is indicated when a person does not yet have foot pathologies, but he regularly exposes his feet to increased stress:

  • High heels
  • Being overweight
  • Peculiarities of work (constant or long standing, walking)
  • Professional athletics and other sports
  • Pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, etc.

Preventive products are made from soft but elastic material - genuine leather or polyethylene foam. The shape of the inserts is such that they support a person’s feet in an optimal position, reducing the load on the musculoskeletal system. The consequence of wearing preventive products is the elimination of discomfort and the prevention of diseases.

Therapeutic orthopedic insoles

Patients who are already experiencing the consequences of an unhealthy lifestyle and wearing unsuitable shoes are indicated for medical or therapeutic orthopedic insoles. Thanks to their special shape, they minimize the symptoms of diseases and reduce discomfort:

  • Swelling goes away
  • Prevents the development of arthrosis
  • Have a massage effect

Medicinal products are prescribed for such ailments as:

  • Flat feet
  • Heel spur
  • Valgus deformity

To correctly select orthopedic inserts for treatment, you should know your diagnosis and the degree of its development. Orthopedic therapeutic insoles are usually selected by a doctor or give recommendations for their individual order. If necessary, he will tell you where to buy orthopedic insoles in Moscow or your city of residence.

Varieties

Also, all corrective traces, depending on the patient’s lifestyle, can be divided into three types:

  • Model
  • Classic
  • Sports

The fashion products are thin, designed for insertion into shoes with heels. They rather have a preventive function. When worn, they improve blood circulation in the legs, reduce the load on the spine and leg joints, and increase stability. Features of model insoles include a tapered toe, which allows them to be inserted into shoes. The frame of the insoles is made of carbon, so the product has a 100% shock-absorbing effect.

Sports orthopedic insoles for adults are suitable for any shoes. They are designed to reduce the impact of walking and running. The top layer has an antibacterial effect.

The peculiarity of sports models is additional reinforcement and elements for stabilizing the heel, cushioning it and unloading the arches of the foot.

Classic products can be both preventive and therapeutic. They are softer than sports ones. The top layer, thanks to a special coating, softens the impact on sensitive areas of the feet. These orthopedic insoles are suitable for both regular shoes and sports shoes.

Children's insoles are a separate category. They differ from products for adults in the absence of a metatarsal ridge. Children's feet are still developing, so the task of insoles is to direct development in the right direction. Corrective insoles for children are made of soft material so as not to interfere with muscle strengthening, but only to correct the development of the musculoskeletal system. For children with foot problems, custom-made orthopedic inserts are recommended.

Custom orthopedic insoles

Products made to order, based on a cast of the foot, are ideal for the future owner. The person's foot is placed in the correct position and then an impression is made of it. There are several ways to take an impression, but the most reliable is manual, in which a specialist determines the features of the foot.

Custom foot orthopedic insoles can be made in accordance with your wishes, lifestyle and specialist recommendations. Most often, patients ask their doctor where to order orthopedic insoles. Among the many companies, the Center for Cosmetology and Dermatology “K+31” stands out. The price of customized orthopedic insoles depends on various factors:

  • Material of manufacture
  • Purpose
  • Size
  • View

Orthopedic insoles for shoes, individually selected in accordance with the structural features of your foot - the best option for the prevention and treatment of diseases of the feet and the entire musculoskeletal system.

Had surgery on my foot. Anastasia Alekseevna clearly explained in advance what and how would happen during the operation and after, as well as during the rehabilitation period. As a result, many years of pain went away! Now I only regret that I did not fall into the hands of this team of doctors earlier.

My hand started to hurt from constantly working at the computer. I was worried for several months, nothing helped - neither exercises, nor bandages. I had already begun to seriously think about changing my field of activity, because working at a computer was simply impossible. But I went to Lev Ilyich for an appointment and within a few days the arm was completely gone! Notice that the pain did not decrease, but went away completely. I do the exercises that the doctor gave and follow all the recommendations. I sincerely recommend Lev Ilyich, because he really is a doctor!
