By Mollie Burton


The condition of the feet can conclude a lot of things about ones health. It is because you can identify a disease through its bearing. Be mindful of symptoms like swelling, joint stiffness, and numbness because they indicate sickness. So to mention, arthritis, diabetes, kidney problems, heart problems, and other ailments.

With this, the idea of them having to do with the body parts and organs was recognized. In some countries like China, they give much significance to them. This is why they have a lot of massage parlors particularly specializing in reflexology. It makes them feel good every time they avail of their massage services. With this idea in mind, several other countries thought of devising an alternative product of reflexology in particular which is now the custom orthotics.

Orthotics is an area in the medical field that is concerned with manufacturing products that apply orthoses. Orthoses is a device that is used externally to modify the functions of the neuromascular and skeletal system. Industries introduce them in the form of a foot pad that is inserted in the shoes. They are like insoles but they are custom made and function as a medical appliance.

Like the eyeglasses, they are made according to your level of need or correction. They are primarily there to relieve you from stress and and correct any defect that you are experiencing. Also, since they are custom made, they are matched to fit you foot imprint.

Using them can really do you a great deal of good. Since everyday activities bring a lot of pressure which causes the body to strain, products such as this could be a great partner. Instead of spending daily allowance for massage, you can just use a custom made insoles to help you out and spend less.

If you notice, wearing a pair of uncomfortable shoes makes you not able to concentrate on your work. It just gives you a pain that you should not even be experiencing if you are wearing the correct size or fit for you. But even a comfortable pair can have discomforts as well.

Everyday, you exhaust your feet by walking any distance may it be long or short. It could be by climbing up the stairs from the ground floor to the third floor or by walking from your office to a nearby park. These activities are not bad, they are even good for your overall health because walking is a very good form of exercise, but sometimes we just do not notice that we overdo things and we tire our body out from excessive passion.

Like the eyeglasses which reduce the strain that the eyes experience from the many things and activities performed during the day, these medical insoles function very similarly too. But they do not just function to provide alleviation to the discomfort you feel. They function as corrective appliances that will maintain the proper functioning.

However, custom made are different. Orthotics is made to fit the foot for comfort and ease while the custom made is primarily concerned with correcting the foot and several other walking problems. It also has a nature similar to massage since it has spikes that press to different foot areas that may be connected to major organs when walking. This is a very good partner for walkers.
