We have a few different types of orthotics. Everyone is different and will require a different level of support/ different style of orthotics to suit their footwear and lifestyle. Your podiatrist will determine which options are suitable for you based on their examination. They range from ‘library devices’ (where the podiatrist matches up a specific prefabricated orthotic with your foot/ footwear and orders it for you), semi-custom heat molded orthotics (were a heat moldable eva blank is molded to your foot and modified based on biomechanical measurements) and fully custom orthotics (made from a cast or scan of your foot in addition to biomechanical measures. These can be manufactured from a few different materials or a combination of them (i.e. softer EVA foam or firmer polypropylene plastic) based on the support required and the footwear they need to fit.
It isn’t necessary but antibiotics will help to settle the infection and associated swelling making it easier and less painful for us to clear the offending portion of the nail. If the podiatrist ends up suggesting a partial nail avulsion as a treatment for your nail the infection must be cleared first and they are likely to refer you back to your doctor for antibiotics.
