Find out if prescription orthotics from your Virginia Beach podiatrist can improve your foot health.
Sure, you could get some shoe inserts from your local drugstore, but they can't give you the necessary support and comfort you need for your feet and ankles. In fact, a lot of these one-size-fits-most inserts can do more harm than good. If you are looking for a way to improve your mobility and range of motion while also providing stability and shock absorption for your feet, then it’s time to talk to your Virginia Beach, VA foot doctors Drs. David and Carrie Cho.
There are two different categories that prescription orthotics can fall into:
- Functional orthotics
- Accommodative orthotics
Accommodative orthotics, on the other hand, are usually made from a soft material like foam and offer support and cushioning. This type of orthotics is best for those with diabetic ulcers and other painful conditions like calluses or bunions.
