For the person with diabetes, whose nerve and circulatory
functions are impaired, foot problems are more common and
can be more serious. Neglect of a diabetic foot problem can
frequently lead to severe complications.
Pedorthic solutions include custom molded shoes, depth inlay
shoes, therapeutic and orthopedic shoes for all ages, as well
as supports for diabetes patients, arthritis patients, and
athletes and weekend warriors who need additional support
for running and walking on a temporary or permanent basis.
Specialized areas of pedorthics include:
- Adult foot deformities
- Arthritis
- Diabetes
- Overuse injuries
- Post-polio symptoms
- Trauma
- Partial foot amputations
- Congenital deformities
- Geriatrics
- Sports-related injuries
- Pediatrics/rotational disorders
Most insurance companies cover the cost of diabetic shoes.
CFI also offers a wide variety of therapeutic and orthopedic
shoes, and our experienced certified pedorthists are skilled
in achieving a comfortable custom fit, as well as devising
appropriate solutions to a lengthy list of common foot problems:
- Plantar fasciitis (heel spur)
- Metatarsal breakdown
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Tendinitis (heel pain)
- Metatarsalgia
- Interdigital neuroma
- Plantar ulceration
- Posterior tibial tendon rupture
- Pes planus (flat feet)
- Pes caves (high arches)
Many pedorthic solutions, such as therapeutic shoes, padded
toe sleeves, toe crests, inserts, arch supports, and ankle-foot
orthoses, are available from major manufacturers. Most come
in a range of standard sizes and shapes. Some may be fitted
directly to the patient with a minimum of adjustment; others
require careful and very specific customization to adjust
them to fit your specific contours and size.
This is why it is important that your prescription be filled
by a trained and qualified professional pedorthist, who is
familiar with the available solutions and the fitting processes
for each—and who pursues continuing education in this
area to keep current with the very latest techniques.
