Designing orthotics for individuals with reduced sensation in their feet requires extra attention to both comfort and protection. Without proper feeling, a person may not notice irritation, pressure points, or friction that can quickly turn into sores or ulcers. A podiatrist evaluates the shape of the foot, existing deformities, and areas at risk for breakdown before creating an orthotic device. Materials are chosen carefully to cushion and distribute weight evenly, reducing the chance of injury. Regular monitoring and adjustments are essential, since small changes in foot structure or walking patterns can have a big impact when sensation is diminished. Patients are encouraged to check their feet daily and schedule follow-up visits to ensure their devices continue to fit properly. If you have numbness or neuropathy, it is recommended that you see a podiatrist to discuss safe, custom orthotic options, tailored to your needs.
