Every Thursday between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. there is a bandagist in our surgery.
Orthopedic insoles are individually manufactured by the orthopedic shoemaker according to the appropriate medical indication by the orthopedic specialist after making an impression of the mold. Depending on the symptom, insoles are useful against fatigue and malpositions, pain and overload. Insoles must be worn in the event of malpositions with damage caused by overuse. Insoles are particularly good at correcting splayfoot and flat feet. Insoles are also used to compensate for different leg lengths. Special wedges are available for O- or X-legs.
Orthopedic insoles are used to properly support and protect the overloaded or diseased foot,
to help with running and sports.
Insoles should support the foot optimally, relieve it and, if necessary, ensure the correction of malpositions, leg length differences or diseases of the foot. They are an aid that, in combination with your suitable and suitable footwear, forms a unit and can therefore have an optimal effect. We fit your insoles into your shoes.
