Customized orthoses

In the Ostopora osteopathy center, materials from leading manufacturers FOOTMASTER (Russia) and FORMTHOTICS (New Zealand) are used to produce insoles.

Insoles from FORMTHOTICS

The unique FORMTHOTICS correction system makes it possible to create tailor-made orthopedic insoles for each foot. They adapt precisely to the shape of the sole and do their job fully.

No other insoles are as effective as Formtotix. This is because some insoles are made from impressions, impressions, photos. This causes the footprint of the sole to be partially distorted during the transfer of the footprint. As a result, removable insoles cushion and cushion the foot, but do not support it or compensate for excessive loads.

At Formtotics, the insoles are made by molding the sole. In this way, complete anatomical fidelity is achieved. This applies to both the left and right foot. They seem to have a mirror image of each other, but that is not the case. They are different, and that is why it is so important to know the shape in detail.

With Formtotics orthoses you can run, walk and do sports. The risk of injury is drastically reduced and comfort is increased. You will notice an incredible lightness, even high platform shoes will become more comfortable. But first things first.

How they look like

In their raw form, the shells are made from flat, thick-molecular polyolefin. This 'smart' material is a development by Foot Science International. The company is based in New Zealand and has its own scientific laboratory.

When heated, the coarse-grain polyolefin becomes soft and malleable. In this modified state, the blanks can be adapted to any foot. There is a selection of bases in different colors. Several correction products can be made separately for each shoe: for model, casual and weekend shoes. For example for sneakers, boots. Some people order them for sports equipment – roller skates or ice skates.

ON KLINIC offers several 'Formtotix' models: single-layer and double-layer.

The single-layer blanks have a barely visible thickness. They are used to make insoles for modeling shoes, narrow toe shoes and ballet shoes.

Two-layer blanks are thicker. They are recommended when severe deformities of the lower limbs have been diagnosed. They are also suitable for winter uggings, fur boots and high sneakers. However, in this case it is better to buy shoes one size larger. If this is not possible, the factory insole can be removed and replaced with an orthosis.

Factory shoe insoles

Podiatrists believe that mass-produced insoles are not suitable for everyone. In most cases, the orthoses have to be custom-made. Custom-made models are made from natural materials and complemented with padding with antibacterial properties. The construction includes high-quality longitudinal and transverse arch support, heel cushioning and a rigid supinating insole.

The feet play a key role in standing movement and are constantly exposed to high levels of stress. With increasing age and the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, deformations, pain and gait disorders occur. Orthoses with anatomical properties are the solution to these problems.

An orthopedic insole (orthosis, as it is called in medicine) is a special shoe insert. It is shaped to follow the curves of a healthy foot. These products are specifically designed to restore the normal structure of the feet, which can be disrupted by wearing uncomfortable footwear, poor nutrition and the development of diseases.

Visually, orthopedic insoles differ from conventional insoles due to their wavy, embossed surface. This is where its beneficial effect lies. The insoles support the foot in the correct position and provide complete cushioning when walking. The foot is protected from misalignments and other inconveniences. The shape, design features and materials are designed to fulfill multiple functions:

• normalization of blood circulation;
• protection of muscles from excessive stress;
• Ensuring correct posture of the legs and joints;
• even distribution of the load;
• reduction in fatigue;
• Prevention of corns, abrasions and blisters.

The beneficial effect of the insoles reduces pain and swelling. The reduced stress and massage effect prevents the development of arthrosis, osteochondrosis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Advantages and features of custom-made insoles

Even without pathology, people have very different feet (toes, arch, width, etc.). Problems such as flat feet or valgus exacerbate these differences. Therefore only can Therefore, it is only possible to adapt the insoles precisely to the shape of the foot and correct problem areas by individually adapting them.. Of course, the cost of such a product is higher than a ready-made product, but the positive result will be noticeable much faster.

Custom-made anatomical insoles are absolutely advisable for severe foot deformities. They do not need to be worn or adjusted because all the biomechanical properties of the patient's feet are taken into account during production.

Insoles can be universal or made for a specific pair of shoes and must meet the following criteria:

• The presence of a supinating insole that adapts to the inner arch of the foot;
• a depression in the heel area, the extent of which is determined by the podiatrist during the manufacturing process.
• They have rollers made of different materials that support the supinating arch of the foot.
• The heel support is used to correct heel spurs;
• are equipped with a curved roller under the toes;
• are precisely tailored to the patient's foot size;

Only high-quality and environmentally friendly materials are used to produce the custom-made insoles. Natural or high-quality artificial leather, cork, modern, high-quality plastics, silicone or other high-tech materials are used. Such These products not only offer optimal load distribution and cushioning, but are also many times more durable than conventional products.. The constant use of these insoles has not only a symptomatic but also a therapeutic effect and, in combination with other techniques (gymnastics, massage, general physical training), helps to correct foot defects.

Making individual insoles for children

Orthoses for children support your child's physiological development. Your child will be born with flat feet. It consists of 26 bones and 46 muscles. Little by little, the bones and ligaments change their position, the muscles develop and arches develop. Parents must ensure that they are formed correctly.

Parents often only see a pediatric orthopedist when they see 'crooked' feet or unevenly worn shoe soles. However, it is best to make an appointment much earlier - when the child takes its first steps.

The modern FormTotics promote proper foot development and prevent musculoskeletal disorders without restricting the mobility of the feet or causing discomfort or pain. In addition, they prevent overload and fatigue, so that the child enjoys walking and has to stand on his hands less often.

Do not restrict the child's natural movements. Support the feet during growth phases and during significant weight gain.

Comfort for the growing body. Does not interfere with active movement, strengthens muscles, prevents or corrects flat feet.

All variants from prophylactic to therapeutic.

Advantages of custom-made orthoses for children

During the consultation, the podiatrist at Family Doctor in Moscow asks the parents about their concerns. He then examines the child's feet and takes measurements without weight and with functional tests.

When flatfoot is detected, its stage is determined. A plantoscopy is carried out using the GREENFOOT diagnostic device.

The doctor then takes an impression, places it in the child's shoe and warms it up. The child places the foot in the shoe and an insole is made. The entire visit lasts approximately 40 minutes. The final shape will be fixed a little later while walking.

The next visit will take place after a month. During this visit, the doctor assesses the changes in the foot, the posture and the condition of the item. Custom-made orthopedic insoles for children can be corrected several times. This is important for a growing foot that is constantly changing.

Would you like your child to become less sick and slimmer? Make an appointment at our clinic. The comprehensive service includes:

A six-monthly check-up (sometimes more) with possible correction of insoles is included.

Foot diagnosis and correction is carried out by experienced podiatrists. The treatments take place in the children's building on Usacheva (ul. Usacheva 33, bldg. 5).

Orthoses to prevent flat feet

The orthoses made by the specialists of the Ostopora Osteopathy Center are both a therapeutic and preventive measure in the fight against flat feet and a number of other diseases caused by poor support function of the foot: pain in the feet, knees, pelvis and Lumbar spine.

Wearing insoles prophylactically can help prevent or reduce the occurrence of diseases such as Morton's neuroma.

• Morton's neuroma;
• clubfoot
• pitting on the big toe;
• calluses and corns;
• heel spur;
• varicose veins;
• swollen and tired feet.

Individual orthopedic insoles also help:

• improve blood circulation in the feet;
• reduce the stress on the joints in the ankles, knees and hips;
• reduce leg fatigue;
• increase stability when standing and walking;
• to prevent the development of diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Correction of flat feet with individually fitted orthopedic insoles

diagnosis

The osteopath examines the patient's feet while standing on a special device - the plantoscope - and determines whether both feet correctly and evenly distribute the gravitational load of body weight on the contact surface of the foot with the ground simultaneously or separately. In this way he determines foot deformities: varus or valgus.

The osteopathic doctor also assesses the condition of the lymph and blood vessels in the foot and any varicose veins.

While lying down, check whether there are corns and calluses, which could indicate excessive stress on the foot in these areas.

An initial diagnosis is made based on these findings.

Customized orthoses

Osteopathic treatment and correction of the feet, lower limbs, pelvis and lumbar spine is performed according to the diagnosis.

After the treatment, the patient is provided with individual, soft insoles - 100%ige contact orthoses.

How are orthopedic insoles used correctly?

The custom-made insoles replace normal orthoses. They must fit tightly to the sole of the shoe and not move. They can be glued on if necessary.

When you first put the pads on, walk, jump, or run around to see if they are comfortable. If you don't feel comfortable, adjust or replace the insoles.

In order for them to last, they need to be cared for: washed regularly and thoroughly with warm special water and dried under natural conditions.

Orthotic Reviews

My old insoles no longer hold my foot. The new insoles fit into sneakers like a cast.
Read completely.

I got my first insoles from Nikolay in June 2016. I came to MySportExpert because my fascia had become inflamed from running.
Read everything.

I underwent a full insole procedure, during which the condition of my foot was analyzed and an insole was made based on this. I was also given recommendations to improve the condition of my foot and prevent injuries. With the new insoles, the fascia problem disappeared and I was able to walk again. During this time I ran more than 5,000 km. While wearing the insoles I had to adjust them twice due to wear. At one point I thought I would have to get new insoles, but so far the correction has been sufficient. Nikolaj always listens carefully to the complaints, makes a diagnosis and adapts the insoles to the respective condition of the foot. I've been running a lot lately, so I've been spending a lot of time doing the foot exercises Nikolaj recommended. A big thank you to Nikolaj for his work and valuable advice!

I spoke to mysportexpert about the biomechanics of running. The running test revealed several peculiarities, including the movement and alignment of my feet.
Read completely.

After hearing about the possibilities of anatomical insoles, I decided to make a pair for prevention.
The whole procedure took 1 hour and the custom insoles were ready.
I have to say right from the start that I don't use them all the time. I have several pairs of running shoes and change them depending on my workout. I use the anatomical insoles for both intensive long-distance training and light jogging. I run with the insoles 2-3 times a month.
With the tailor-made anatomical insoles, the foot sits more firmly in the trainer. My insoles are slightly rubbery and have a firm insert in the metatarsal area, near the arch of the foot. This protects the foot from excessive pronation (inward leaning) when running. I have found that the insoles minimize unnecessary movement of the foot and make the running phases (stance and push-off) more stable and efficient, which is noticeable later when running without insoles. I had to get used to them for the first 3-4 training sessions. After running with the anatomical insoles, I like the 'native' trainer insoles and their softness even more.
For variety, I recommend 2-3 pairs of sneakers, anatomical insoles and foot exercises and ball of foot massages 1-2 times a week.
Many thanks to mysportexpert for the expert, useful information and professional approach.

Advantages of ordering orthoses from ORTO-S

We employ specialists who use modern technologies and materials. We manufacture high-quality products that are an important part of the treatment and prevention of flat feet. The products are ordered to relieve discomfort during heavy exertion during pregnancy, during sports and for people who have to stand on their feet for long periods of time.

• Abnormal arch height;
• Longitudinal and/or transverse flat feet;
• Mixed flat feet;
• calluses, corns;
• Inflamed bones;
• heel spurs or plantar fasciitis;
• Varus or valgus position of the foot;
• Foot length differences of up to 3 cm;
• Morton's neuroma.

A specialist will carry out a diagnosis to determine the exact cause of the condition. Flat feet or lowered arches and valgus are some of the most common problems. Every person has an individual foot and gait pattern. The doctor assesses the condition of the musculoskeletal system in terms of dynamics (when walking) and statics (when standing).

The custom-made orthosis is designed to support the arch of the foot with the necessary correction and cushioning. With Extempo orthoses it is possible to correct anomalies between the posterior, anterior and middle spine. They are used when one leg is shorter than the other and when the heel is turned inward or outward. The individually designed orthoses correct the load and ensure even and soft cushioning.

Stages of conducting Extempo

The treatment begins with a very precise impression. For this, our center uses a vacuum membrane. When making the impression, the individual anatomy of each foot is taken into account. The technician adjusts the product so that certain areas of the foot receive maximum relief. The same manipulation is performed on the other foot.

The heated workpiece is then placed in the foot and the patient applies pressure by stepping on the workpiece. The load lasts 20-30 seconds. After 5-6 minutes the device can be inserted into the footwear.

How much does it cost to purchase insoles?

In order to make the right choice, you must first find out what types of foot insoles there are:

• VP-1 – This is an orthopedic insole. It consists of a shaft for the heel and the longitudinal arch of the foot. This type is recommended for the initial stages of flat feet and mild, occasional pain. Recommended for people who stand in one place for a long time or lift heavy weights;
• VP-2 – has a heel support and a heel insert for the longitudinal arch of the foot. They are recommended to correct the longitudinal arch of the foot;
• VP-3 – this type is characterized by a pronator under the forefoot, the presence of padding on the long side of the foot and a heel tab. It is used to prevent sprained foot syndrome;
• VP-6 – has an orthopedic insole and padding for both arches and heel. It also has a tube that prevents the formation of corns and calluses. It flattens the longitudinal arch. It is designed to move the big toe outward;
• VP-7 – This type has a pronator over the entire edge of the foot and a heel part. It is usually prescribed to prevent clubfoot and even mild shortening of the foot. Usually it is used on women who wear heels;
• VP-9 – These orthopedic insoles are used for severe shortening of the foot. The treatment consists of placing a socket under the heel, lining the lateral part of the longitudinal arch and using compensators from the heel to the ball of the foot;
• VP-10 – This model has a heel, a longitudinal arch and special recesses for calluses and corns. This type can prevent calluses and scars.

Despite the large selection of products, orthopedic insoles can differ significantly in their functionality. We are talking about professional deposits (cut-off). These are available for both adults and children.

Rules for the mandatory use of deposits

Here we limit ourselves to the most common cases in which there is a direct indication for wearing and use.

Their use is recommended in cases of:

• disproportion in the length of the legs;
• flat feet,
• pain in the spine and large joints;
• diabetic foot syndrome;
• presence of Morton's neuroma;
• injuries to the foot or lower leg;
• Wearing high-heeled shoes (more than 4 cm);
• Pregnancy;
• heel spur,
• overweight,
• standing work.

ADVANTAGES OF CUSTOM ORTHOPEDIC INSOLES

One of the most common and effective non-surgical treatments for foot problems is the use of insoles. You can buy standard insoles in stores that reduce the strain on the foot somewhat, but of course this is not a real cure.

To stop the development of abnormalities and completely relieve the skeleton of undue loads, it is best to make individual insoles. This is especially important when a pathology is detected in children, because the earlier treatment begins, the less likely it is that further health consequences will occur. Such insoles are also highly recommended for athletes, athletes and people who jog or hike in the evening. In these cases, the custom-made insoles help to relieve the joints, prevent fatigue in the back, knees and feet and prevent the development of various pathologies.

INDICATIONS FOR THE USE OF INSOLES

• clubfoot
• heel spur
• back pain
• intervertebral fractures
• deformation of the big toe
• Leg curvature, scoliosis
• Diabetic foot syndrome

An orthopedic traumatologist doesn't just treat injuries. A specialist whose main task is the rapid elimination of pain and the initiation of repair processes in damaged musculoskeletal tissue, regardless of the cause of the damage.

Ozone molecules have strong antiseptic and antibacterial effects. Intravenous infusion of an ozonated solution saturates the blood with active oxygen and makes the body more resistant to infections and viruses.

Biomaterial collection, blood chemistry, urinalysis, stool analysis, cytology, spermiogram, detection of allergies, infections, cancer markers, vitamin and hormone content - all this and much more can be carried out in our clinic.

Saturating the body with oxygen increases vitality, helps to intensify the effects of treatments, strengthens the immune system and triggers regeneration and rejuvenation processes. In 2020, Israeli scientists made a sensational discovery: a course of barotherapy can rejuvenate the body at the cellular level for 10-20 years. Barotherapy is also used to repair damaged lungs.

Individual insoles

One day Charles Beycroft (inventor of the FormTotics insoles) was walking by the sea and felt the sand pleasantly filling and supporting the arches of his feet. Then the idea came to him.

In the 1990s, he created an insole made of a material that, like sand, supports the foot comfortably and does not hinder its movements.

The surfaces on which modern humans live are their own – flat and rigid. They practically do not exist in nature.

The mechanism of flat surfaces is constant, monotonous and harmful.

A flat, hard floor prevents the proper development of the child's foot, while the imbalance of the adult foot leads to joint and musculoskeletal deformation, that is, musculoskeletal disorders, the development of which is only a matter of time!

Remember!!! When we walk on a natural surface, especially barefoot, we leave footprints.

The natural ground deforms under the influence of our weight, filling the arches of the feet and normalizing (balancing) the pressure points on the foot.

The Formtotix insoles work in the same way, filling the arches (lengthwise and crosswise) and equalizing pressure at the pressure points on the foot as they are heated and shaped. (There are three: the base of the first and fifth toes and the heel triangle of the foot).

If an insole is not used, there is no balance in the foot, even a healthy foot is overloaded, which affects all joints of the musculoskeletal system.

So if you want a child to have healthy feet and an adult to have healthy joints, you must always wear orthotics outside the home.
