At Pinnacle Foot and Ankle Clinics in Edina, MN, Dr. Michael Bevan, DPM, provides custom orthotics designed to improve comfort, support proper alignment, and correct foot and lower limb health issues. Orthotics are specialized shoe inserts personalized to each patient’s unique anatomy and gait, helping to relieve pain and prevent further complications.
What Orthotics Are
Orthotics are not just over-the-counter shoe inserts. They are carefully crafted medical devices that fit the contours of your feet. They can be rigid, semi-rigid, or soft depending on the patient’s needs, providing support where it’s needed most. By redistributing pressure and improving foot mechanics, orthotics can enhance stability and reduce strain on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and even the lower back.
Conditions That Benefit from Orthotics
Patients often seek orthotics for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, heel pain, and diabetic foot complications. Athletes and active individuals may use them to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Orthotics can also be beneficial for those recovering from foot or ankle surgery or for patients experiencing chronic joint or soft tissue pain.
The Orthotic Process at Pinnacle Foot and Ankle Clinics
Your experience begins with a thorough evaluation at Dr. Bevan’s Edina, MN, office, including a detailed assessment of your feet, gait, and overall posture. Using advanced measurement techniques, we create custom orthotics that match your specific needs. Patients can expect a gradual adjustment period as their body adapts to the new support, with follow-up visits to ensure optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics
