What are the types of orthopedic insoles ？

Many friends suffer from flat feet, and the specific treatment for flat feet depends on the condition. 
However, both conservative treatment and surgical treatment must be carried out under the guidance of professional foot and ankle surgeons in regular hospitals.

Orthopedic insoles usually refer to various devices placed in shoes to maintain, support or improve the function of the foot, and are classified as the most commonly used foot assist devices. 
According to its primary use, it is divided into two categories: one is habitual orthopedic insoles, which are mainly used to accommodate, get used to, and maintain rigid deformities or risk of ulceration of the feet, such as patients with chronic foot diseases such as arthritis or diabetes; the other type It is a functional orthopedic insole, which mainly provides support or stabilization to control the flexible foot to avoid damage and further deformation.

There are two manufacturing methods, one is the method of infusing the foot model with craft plaster, and the other is the method of repairing the model after computer scanning. Both methods require doctors to formulate specific and appropriate orthopedic insole prescriptions, which can solve the patient's foot disease symptomatically. Custom-molded orthopedic insoles require specific orthopedic shoes as cooperation, and orthopedic shoes need to reserve space for orthopedic insoles.
