Arthritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the lining and cartilage of the joints. There are various types of arthritis, and common symptoms include warmth, redness, swelling, and pain. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent form of arthritis affecting the ankle and foot, and it can develop due to abnormal or poor foot mechanics (such as flat feet or high arches), causing excessive strain on the joints of the ankle and foot.

At Ortho Design, we can provide specialized shoes and custom orthotics that offer support to alleviate the excessive strain caused by poor foot mechanics. We can also stabilize inflamed joints and, if necessary, unload the limbs to comfort individuals experiencing arthritis.
