Sometimes the answer is as simple as one leg being a different length than the other. However, that can get complicated if the difference becomes too much. When that happens we look to adding it the sole of the shoe. We can also fit for custom made shoes with the loft already built in.

What is Charcot foot? Charcot foot is when your body attacks the bones and joints of the foot eventually causing foot collapse in where your foot sits in a more rockered fashion. The patient has neuropathy as well which complicates catching it before there is a big problem.
What can be done? The Best thing to do when the foot is in active collapse is to have full contact support and to be off of it as much as possible.
In our clinic we offer casting to fit you with a custom made C.R.O.W. boot (Charcot restraint orthotic walker) as well as full contact orthotics.

Our learning this week has taken us to the East Coast. We started with Black Octopus and The Mayer Institute to learn about CROW boots (Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker) and casting for them. They very important tool to help reduce complications with Charcot feet. We also got to see a clinic that specialized in diabetic foot complications and wounds which was amazing. We ended with a tour of Biotech and a training session on scanning and measuring for custom shoes.
We are very excited to be able to add new tools to our practice to help with those feet that need it the most.
