PAIN RELIEF THROUGH ORTHOTICS

Did you know that 7 out of 10 people over the age of fifty experience a decrease of fat pad on their feet which results in less shock absorption while walking? A majority of people over the age of fifty have foot or back pain following trauma, ankle sprains, surgery, etc. They also have a higher incidence of degenerative joint disease and osteoporosis. Poor circulation in the feet can be caused by socks, shoes and elastic stockings, especially in diabetics and cardiac patients.

You don't have to live with the pain...

Your podiatrist knows how to correct these problems. At Malik Podiatry, we offer a complete prescription service for custom orthotic devices. Our orthotics can have a unique slim construction that fits into high heels, casual and sport shoes. They move with the patient every time they make a step. This means less pain during walks - an impossible feat without them. Back or knee pain has been relieved by orthotics because it rebalances points so that the "wearer" doesn't compensate on the opposite leg.
