How Custom Foot Orthotics Can Help Promote Circulation

Poor circulation can not only be an annoyance, but can be dangerous to your health as well. Fortunately, custom orthopedic shoes in Arkansas may be able to help promote better circulation.

Do you find that your feet often feel colder than the rest of your body? Perhaps they even seem to go numb or get that “pins and needles” sensation easily. If this sounds familiar, you are likely suffering from poor circulation. In more severe cases, you may even experience pain that prevents you from walking or standing due to poor circulation.

The first step should always be to see a doctor, which will help to determine the cause of your poor circulation and your options for treatment. Still, in many cases a doctor may recommend shoe orthotics in Arkansas as a means of improving your circulation without invasive treatments or risky medications.

Potential Causes of Poor Circulation

There are many reasons as to why you may be experiencing poor circulation. Cigarette smokers, for example, are at a greater risk of this condition—as are those who do not get regular exercise or a proper diet. If you have a job where you spend long periods of time sitting or standing in one place, this can also contribute to a lack of blood circulation throughout the body.

How Custom Orthopedic Shoes in Arkansas Can Help

Aside from making lifestyle changes to support better circulation (like focusing on proper nutrition, getting enough exercise, and quitting smoking), you may also want to speak to your doctor about being fitted for custom orthopedic shoes designed to promote better circulation. Custom orthopedic shoes and shoe orthotics in Arkansas can help support the legs in a way that improves blood flow and circulation throughout the entire body and, specifically, to the feet.

If you have recently had foot surgery, special post-operative shoes may also be recommended to promote healthy blood circulation to the healing area, which can help to prevent blood clots and other potential complications.

There are many different types of orthotics and orthopedics that can be effective in treating poor circulation. A custom-fitted orthotic shoe insert, for example, may be worn while standing for long periods of time to provide the arch support that may otherwise be lacking and causing poor blood flow to the feet. Other types of orthotics can enhance blood flow not just to the feet, but to other areas of the body as well.

Custom Orthopedic Shoes Arkansas

If you have been diagnosed with poor circulation and have been given a prescription for custom orthopedic shoes or shoe orthotics, Horton’s Orthotics & Prosthetics is here to help.
