Orthotics for Runners
Your feet are unique and impact your body with every step!  Skeletal alignment relies on the support of your footprint.  If the foot structure is compromised you may experience pain higher up in the body.  Custom orthotics will provide a proper foundation for good posture to ease the impact on ankles, shins, knees, hips and back.

Sports and Running Orthotics

Running, playing soccer, hiking, walking and other athletic activities increase pressure on the feet.  Athletes can also experience supination, a condition of the foot rolling outward.  In this position the foot is less able to provide shock absorption causing sprains, stress fractures, tendonitis and shin splints.

Custom orthotic insoles can protect your joints from impact as you stay in great shape.  The additional support may also enhance your control and maximize your athletic performance.  Consult an expert when selecting the right athletic shoe for your sport and foot type.

Orthotics for Flat Feet, Low Arches and Pronation

Flat feet can cause excessive pronation, a condition that causes the feet to roll inward and arches to collapse.  This poor foundation compromises foot function and imbalances the structural alignment causing pain in the ankles, knees, hips and back.

Orthotics for Diabetes, Arthritis and Multiple Sclerosis

Foot ailments can be an early signal of more serious medical problems like diabetes, arthritis or multiple sclerosis.  Early treatment can prevent severe nerve damage and inflammatory joint deformations.  Dr. Abbinanti can identify the high pressure areas on the foot and create customized orthotic insoles.  This personalized support will improve gait movement, blood flow and nerve function, which will benefit overall health.

Issues Created by Poor Footwear

Many foot problems are caused by poorly fitting footwear.  High heels, pointy-toed shoes, flip-flops and flimsy sneakers don’t offer structural support.  They may cause bunions or calluses that misshape feet, or create agonizing shin splints.  Orthotics and proper shoe fit can help to restore foot health.
