Charcot Marie Tooth disease affects the nerves and often leads to muscle weakness and structural changes in the feet. As arches collapse or toes begin to curl, walking can become more difficult and painful. Orthotics play a key role in managing these changes. They help support the foot, improve balance, and reduce the risk of falls or pressure injuries. Custom orthotics can also help slow the progression of deformities by providing better alignment and cushioning. However, their effectiveness depends on how consistently they are worn. Regular use and follow up with a podiatrist ensure that the fit remains correct as the condition evolves. If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease and is experiencing changes in foot shape or stability, it is suggested that you see a podiatrist for a discussion on how custom orthotics can help you.
The benefits of custom orthotics are far-reaching and can make a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a healthcare worker on your feet every day, someone who experiences chronic foot pain, or someone who wants to improve their overall comfort and well-being, custom orthotics can be a game changer.
Custom orthotics provide support, stability, and relief for a variety of foot conditions ranging from flat feet to heel pain. They can even help prevent injuries and address more severe foot concerns, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot issues.
