Orthopedic instep to correct different leg lengths

Relieves foot fatigue and soreness and reduces forefoot cushioning stress,

Correction of foot pathologies with the FormTotix system

Custom orthotics cannot be bought off the shelf at an orthopedic store or drugstore, they can only be made to the foot. There are many manufacturing techniques - plaster casts, ink casts, photographs of the foot - but even then you don't get a truly customized insole that will actually have a therapeutic effect on your feet.

If you look closely, even the right and left feet don't look exactly the same. Everyone's foot is as unique as their face! The customization of insoles makes it possible to take into account the specific characteristics of your body: your weight, the structure of your foot, the deformation of your foot during movement.

The individually shaped insole can be gradually adjusted to the correct foot position or changed as children's feet grow. Individually adapted insoles can eliminate foot, leg and back pain in the case of physical complaints and prevent injuries during sports.

FormTotics insoles

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FORMOTICS AND OTHER 'CUSTOMIZED' INSOLES

The insoles are molded from a 'smart' material, a high molecular weight polyolefin from Foot Science International (New Zealand). When heated to a certain temperature, these insoles become malleable and can be quickly adjusted to the foot. When walking, the foot forms itself within a few minutes: the structure of the material remembers all changes in the shape of the foot during movement. The shaping in motion is the unique difference between Formtotics and other custom insoles.

The second special feature is the individual correction, which takes place about 1 month after the insoles are made. Again, your feet will be included in the correction process. For the correction, the doctor puts wedges on the insoles that correspond to the 'wishes' of your feet. After the correction, you will quickly feel how easy it is to keep your balance when you are standing on one foot, even with your eyes closed. Little by little, the pain in your feet will disappear and you will feel more comfortable standing and walking.

It should be noted that the diagnosis and treatment with the FormTotix system is carried out exclusively by physicians. Thanks to his expertise, the doctor is able to diagnose foot abnormalities and select the optimal orthosis model for your feet. Where unique technology and the golden hands of a doctor come together, a true miracle happens!

Types of orthopedic products

The immobilization of the foot in the correct position and the massaging effect of the insoles or the soles of shoes with heel spurs improve the blood supply to the fascia, which is one of the basic requirements for healing. The main types of aids include:

insoles

Which insoles do you need for heel spurs, what material are they made of and how effective are they - these are the most common questions from people with plantar fasciitis. These products are made from natural materials that provide not only the therapeutic effects but also the comfort that people with this condition need. They can be made of leather, silicone, gel or felt. There are also products made from cork, which are less effective but are the cheapest. Silicone insoles are considered the most effective remedy for heel spurs, as they adapt to the anatomical structure of the foot and provide maximum comfort when walking.

Different types of orthopedic insoles

Therapeutic insoles are divided into the following types:

  • long side;
  • transversal;
  • combined;
  • insoles with a roll;
  • Children's soles (with a thicker insert);
  • Half insoles (to be worn on high heels).

Orthoses should be selected in specialized centers where a competent orthopedist can be consulted.

They should always be worn to get the desired results. These products work to treat plantar fasciitis by distributing the load across the foot and shaping the correct heel angle, as well as preventing plantar fasciitis and other musculoskeletal disorders.

Another advantage of orthopedic insoles is that the treatment time for spurs is significantly reduced by wearing insoles. The only disadvantage is the relatively high price, because not all people with an average income can afford these insoles.

How to decide

First of all, you should buy orthopedic aids in specialized stores in hospitals or in stores with a good reputation. Often the orthopedist on the prescription indicates the basic parameters of the product, but sometimes you have to make the choice yourself. Before purchasing braces, braces, or sprays to treat plantar fasciitis, consider the following points:

  • comfort (the product should suit you in all individual parameters so that the treatment is effective and does not aggravate the pain);
  • Presence of a supinator on the insole (this is a rigid frame that provides fixation of the longitudinal arch and evenly distributes the pressure on the sole);
  • Presence of an insole for the foot (this is an elevation that supports the transverse arch, which is especially important with heel spurs);
  • Presence of heel padding (important to relieve the heel, this point applies to all types of products);
  • Fulfillment of additional parameters (the doctor may indicate the need for special heel wedges that fix the heel at a certain angle).

Where to buy

You can buy a cinch at an orthopedic specialty store, but it's more convenient to use an online store if you work from the comfort of your own home. Here you can order the product and then pick it up at a convenient time. The company's stores are located in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other major cities. Shipping is available throughout Russia.

The cinch, which is manufactured to correct leg length, is believed to be a self-sufficient orthopedic product. However, I would like to note that it works most productively in combination with frame inserts. Through them, the person's weight is optimally redistributed to the foot.

If a person ignores the problem for a long time and does not use a cinch to correct the length of the legs, then chronic diseases of the back, pelvis, knees and/or ankles develop. This happens due to the high load on the short limbs. If the moment is missed and the disease is neglected, then it should not be forgotten:

Varicose veins can develop. Then it is necessary to wear a compression stocking. Read here what it is and how to choose the right one. And flat feet can be caused by improper pressure distribution. Wear orthotics!
Don't forget about the holistic approach to preventing and treating flat feet. Use massagers, Kuznetsov and Lyapko applicators, special mats.

Why should I choose shin splints carefully?

If a shin splint does not provide the right amount of support or is the wrong size, it will only delay the healing process and set the stage for re-injury. Therefore it is important to remember that. Only a doctor should select semi-rigid or rigid orthoses! Only light ankle orthoses can be prescribed to relieve osteoarthritis and joint problems, to prevent injuries and to relieve pain in the case of minor shin splints.

Incidentally, there are also ankle orthoses with complete immobilisation of the joint. These are used for broken bones. The orthosis looks like the one pictured below. So it's important to buy the type of orthosis you need for your situation.

Ankle splint after fractures

What are the criteria for choosing an orthosis?

First of all, the orthosis should be adapted to the severity of the injury. A distinction is often made between three degrees of injury to the joint system of the foot:

  1. Minor injury. In the case of a minor injury, there is usually little or no swelling, slight pain and minor restrictions in movement. Walking is not affected and the limb can safely support body weight. In this case, a flexible ankle joint or a neoprene ankle joint is recommended. It provides the necessary compression and does not restrict the movement of the joint. This type of orthosis can be adjusted independently.
  2. Moderate. Symptoms include swelling (mild to severe), moderate (tolerable) pain, moderate limitation of movement, difficulty walking or bearing weight on the affected limb. The recommended type of ankle brace is an orthosis that compresses the joint and fixes it with stiffening ribs. Must be prescribed by a doctor!
  3. serious. Symptoms: large swelling and hematoma, severe pain, total limitation of movement, the patient cannot put weight on the affected limb. An ankle orthosis that ensures complete immobilization of the ankle is recommended. To be prescribed by a doctor!

The second thing to pay attention to – The material of the orthosis itself. For example, ankle straps with neoprene provide warmth, accelerate blood circulation and help to relieve swelling and pain associated with arthrosis, arthritis and rheumatism. Allergy sufferers who react to synthetic fibers and sensitive skin should prefer ankle boots with a high cotton content.

Ankle Compression Bandage

Flexible ankle braces with silicone inserts offer slightly better support and compression, which is beneficial during heavy physical work and sports activities. Flexible ankle orthoses with additional straps with Velcro have also been proven to prevent sports injuries. The most important thing when choosing a flexible ankle brace for sports training is that it completely encloses the ankle on all sides and is high enough.

Types of ankle protectors

The method of occlusion correction and tooth straightening using eliners is now widespread: the leading manufacturers of orthodontic devices are working on the development of new technologies and types of cassettes.

The braces offered by Vitadent Dentistry can be differentiated according to the following criteria:

Custom braces. Tooth corrections are made strictly based on a 3D model of the patient's jaw. In this case, the dentures are individually adapted to each patient. The fit of the product ensures a tight fit of the teeth, the fit is more precise, and the design is more effective.

Duration of daily wear. Depending on the severity of the defect, the orthodontist recommends a mouthguard for 24 hours or overnight. In the first case, the braces are only removed for cleaning and disinfection. Rubber bands worn overnight are used for minor defects or to improve treatment outcomes.

material of manufacture. Flexible braces can be made from a variety of materials. Examples are medical-grade silicone (soft, transparent, and hypoallergenic) and bioplastic, which has properties similar to silicone but is harder and stronger. Both are translucent and do not damage gums or teeth.

age of the patient. The products are divided into versions for adults and models for children and teenagers. The latter can be color-coded according to the wearing time, which makes it easier to follow the doctor's instructions exactly.

Comparison of mouthguard and braces

The method of treating teeth with braces differs from the bracket technique in a number of ways.

Stage of dental treatment with braces

  1. The bite or crooked teeth with a mouth guard start with an initial visit to the orthodontist. The specialist examines the teeth and, if necessary, conducts diagnostic tests – x-rays of the jaw. In this phase, the doctor will decide whether treatment with braces is necessary.
  2. The second phase is oral hygiene (treatment of caries, cleaning of plaque and any hard deposits), followed by taking an impression and a correction plan. A computer model of the jaw is made based on the impression and the desired effect is visualized. Then the number of beads needed for the correction and the total cost of the procedure are calculated.
  3. The third step is to make the clear face mask. Manufacturing time may vary depending on the material chosen, the type of design and the complexity of the jaw defect. Once the braces are in place, the orthodontist will counsel the patient, demonstrate how to insert and remove the braces, explain how to care for the braces, and create a care plan.

Throughout the treatment period, the specialist will assess the progress of the correction and make adjustments to the schedule if necessary.

variety

Braces come in several varieties. They differ in their shape and the material from which they are made. The type of product should be selected according to the purpose. Different diseases and defects, as well as the degree of pathology, require different materials and shapes. For example, softer silicone pads are intended to prevent or treat the disease in the early stages, while harder and thicker leather or latex pads are prescribed by the doctor in the later stages of the pathology.

In order for the effect to last longer, the insoles should be worn every day, which is why it makes sense to buy several types.

By shape

Shoe inserts are manufactured in three forms:

On some devices, manufacturers make indentations in the middle of the heel or soft inserts. These types are suitable for pain relief from heel spurs or other diseases.

By material

Different materials are used to make soles. The table below gives an overview of the types of products, their purpose and the advantages and disadvantages of using them.

materialPurposeAdvantagesDisadvantages
Leather. Inside the leather cover is a small latex padMostly used for different leg lengths and low heightsGood ventilation properties, high quality, durableOffer little cushioning effect and therefore have no orthopedic function. Quite expensive
gelReduces pressure on the heel, prevents calluses, spurs, skin cracksSoft, thin, suitable for formal shoesThey do not correct severe foot abnormalities and are only used prophylactically.
corkUsed for flat feet, spine and joint problems.Have a serious orthopedic effectNot suitable for all shoes
siliconePrevents cracks and blisters, prevents flat feet, relieves foot fatigueSignificant orthopedic effectNot suitable for formal shoes, complex structure
latexSuitable for heel spurs, unequal leg length, fatigueComfortable to wear, does not require any special fastening in the shoe. Suitable for both high-heeled and high-heeled shoesSuitable for a specific pair of shoes.

Features of the children's models

The functional purpose of children's braces is the same as that of adults - correction of peculiarities of the foot structure, prevention of the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, relieving foot fatigue when walking. There is not only discussion about the age from which children can be equipped with shoe soles, but also whether they have to be equipped at all.

Most pediatric orthopedic surgeons believe that these devices are not strictly necessary. Unless they are highly recommended by professionals to correct developmental anomalies of the foot and spine, for example to correct leg length discrepancies or pronounced flat feet. In other cases, it will be used preventively.

The use of children's shoe soles at any age and for any purpose (prophylactic or therapeutic) is recommended only by an orthopedic surgeon.

Because children are very sensitive to allergens, products must be made from hypoallergenic materials. Parents concerned about the health of their children should buy bracelets in orthopedic stores or pharmacies. Don't forget that the wrong size can be harmful to children's health.
