Custom orthotics, supportive shoes, and braces are used to help improve comfort, support, alignment, and pressure control during daily movement.

These products may be recommended when foot position, walking mechanics, joint stress, or pressure points are contributing to pain. They can be especially helpful when symptoms are affected by standing, walking, footwear, activity, or repeated strain.

At DeNova Health, these options are selected based on your symptoms, foot structure, footwear needs, and how your body moves.

What These Products Are Used For

These products may help with:

• Foot and ankle support: May help improve alignment and reduce strain during walking or standing.
• Pressure relief: Can help reduce pressure on painful areas such as the heel, arch, ball of the foot, toes, or joints.
• Stability and control: Bracing may help limit painful movement or improve confidence during activity.
• Footwear comfort: Supportive shoes may reduce rubbing, crowding, and irritation.
• Injury or condition management: May be used as part of care for tendon pain, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, high arches, or recurring pressure points.

Who May Benefit

These products may be helpful when pain or movement issues are related to support, pressure, alignment, or footwear fit. They may be considered for concerns such as heel, arch, or forefoot pain, where added support can help reduce strain. They may also be used for ankle, knee, hip, or back discomfort when foot mechanics contribute to symptoms.

Other indications include recurring calluses, corns, or pressure areas caused by repeated friction, as well as joint and tendon conditions where bracing or orthotics may help reduce load and support recovery.

How DeNova Health Helps Determine the Right Option

Choosing between orthotics, shoes, braces, or a combination depends on what is causing the symptoms and what kind of support is needed.

DeNova Health may review:

• Foot structure and mechanics: To see how your feet move and where pressure is building.
• Walking pattern: To assess how weight moves through the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower body.
• Footwear fit: To check whether your current shoes are helping or adding to the problem.
• Pain location: To match support to the heel, arch, forefoot, toes, ankle, or affected joint.
• Activity needs: To choose an option that fits walking, work, exercise, recovery, or daily use.

When to Book an Appointment

If pain, pressure, instability, or footwear discomfort is affecting your daily routine, DeNova Health can help determine whether custom orthotics, supportive shoes, or bracing may be appropriate.
