Shoe Modifications
Rocker Bottoms: rocker bottom soles are used to assist with foot problems such as arthritis, hammertoes, metatarsalgia, heel pain, and much more.
Roller Bottoms: roller bottom soles are often used to create mobility for someone with an ankle fusion or an AFO (ankle foot orthosis).
Flare: Flares can be added to the lateral (outside) or medial (inside) side of a shoe in order to provide stability for excessive pronation or supination (ankle rollout).
Wedge: Lateral or medial wedges are often added to shoes when someone has severe pronation (medial) or supination (lateral).
Lift: Lifts are added to shoes when there is a limb length discrepancy. LLD can be caused from a birth defect, a hip replacement, or various other reasons. Back pain can be a sign that you might have a LLD.
Note: These modifications can be integrated into custom shoes or added to ready-to-wear shoes.
