Custom Molded Bio Mechanical Orthotics

Custom Molded Bio Mechanical Orthotics

Various types of podiatric conditions are often treated with orthotics. At S.E.T. FootCare, P.C. they offer their patients custom molded bio mechanical orthotics. Orthotics are used in order to realign the foot and improve foot function and mechanics. They can be used to prevent or treat several types of foot problems, such as pain related to sports injuries, plantar fasciitis and heel and arch pain.

Although orthotics are available over the counter, they are not designed with your specific foot and condition in mind. Custom made orthotics are different. Custom made orthotics are a bio mechanical device, which is available by prescription from a podiatrist. After an evaluation and exam, the orthotics are custom molded for your foot for more precise care.

Every day your feet have a great deal of force or stress placed on them. Many times you don’t even think about your feet, unless problems develop. It’s common for both children and adults to develop a foot problem at some point in their lifetime. That’s where podiatric care can help. The podiatrists at S.E.T. FootCare, P.C. treat a variety of common foot conditions, such as hammertoes, bunions, heel pain and skin conditions, such as athlete’s foot.

For more information on custom molded bio mechanical orthotics or any of their other services, please call S.E.T. FootCare, P.C. at 248-681-6180.

Shockwave for Heel Pain

Shockwave for Heel Pain

Heel pain can be severely debilitating for suffering patients.  Many athletes and people with flat feet experience this pain as a result of a common foot condition known as plantar fasciitis.  At our practice, we offer a unique, conservative treatment known as shockwave therapy, or ESWT.  This revolutionary treatment has helped many of our patients find lasting relief from their heel pain.

Shockwave therapy uses high intensity sound waves to increase blood flow and promote your body’s natural healing process.  ESWT has had a very high success rate among our patients.  In the convenience of our office, patients have found lasting relief from even severe heel pain.  In general, patients experience no downtime from work.  It is an excellent treatment for those with plantar fasciitis and heal spur syndrome.  If you are experiencing heel pain, we encourage you to visit our practice and learn more about the benefits of shockwave therapy.
