Custom Orthotics & Braces

What are Custom Orthotics & Braces?

Understanding the condition

Custom orthotics and braces are specialized medical devices designed to support, align, and enhance the function of the feet and ankles.
Unlike over-the-counter insoles, these are individually crafted to match the patient’s unique foot shape and biomechanical needs.
They can help relieve pain, correct deformities, and prevent further injury, making them effective for a wide range of conditions such as flat feet, plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, arthritis, and diabetic foot complications.
By providing precise correction and long-term stability, custom devices play an essential role in maintaining healthy, functional movement.

When to Consider Custom orthotics & Braces?

Common Indications

Flat feet or high arches causing poor foot mechanics

Chronic heel or arch pain

Structural deformities like bunions or hammertoes

How We Diagnose The Need For Custom Orthotics & Braces

At the Modern Podiatry Foot and Ankle Surgery Clinic in Amman, Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi performs a comprehensive biomechanical assessment to understand how the patient’s feet function during standing and walking.
This evaluation may include gait analysis, foot pressure mapping, and physical examination to identify imbalances, deformities, or areas of stress.
From these findings, custom devices are prescribed and designed to meet each patient’s specific lifestyle and medical needs.

How are Custom Orthotics & Braces Used?

How We Help Support & Align the Foot

Functional orthotics: Control abnormal motion, improve alignment, and enhance walking efficiency
Accommodative orthotics: Provide extra cushioning and reduce pressure on sensitive or painful areas
Ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs): Offer ankle and foot support for stability after injury or in cases of muscle weakness
Sports-specific orthotics: Designed to protect athletes, prevent overuse injuries, and improve performance

How is surgery performed?

Surgery is not required for orthotics or braces themselves. However, in patients with severe deformities, instability, or post-surgical needs, orthotics may be used alongside surgery to support healing and prevent recurrence. Dr. Malek Abu-Al-Nadi emphasizes preventive and rehabilitative care, helping patients maintain long-term mobility, comfort, and optimal foot health through the proper use of custom orthotics and braces.
