Diabetic Foot Orthotics — Insoles, Therapeutic Footwear & Charcot Orthosis in Gwalior
Diabetic foot orthotics are specialized insoles, footwear, and orthotic devices designed to protect the insensate diabetic foot from pressure injuries, ulcers, and Charcot neuroarthropathy. With over 77 million diabetics in India, diabetic foot complications are a leading cause of lower limb amputation — most of which are preventable with proper footwear and orthotic care.
At Limbgenixx, Gwalior, we provide comprehensive diabetic foot orthotic solutions including custom pressure-relief insoles, extra-depth diabetic footwear, Charcot foot total contact casts, and post-ulcer offloading orthotics. Our team works alongside diabetologists and vascular surgeons to provide complete foot protection. Serving patients from Madhya Pradesh and across India.
Types of Diabetic Foot Orthotics
Custom Diabetic Insoles
Pressure-mapping guided custom insoles that redistribute plantar pressure away from high-risk areas. Made from multi-density foam (PPT, Plastazote) to cushion neuropathic feet. Essential for preventing diabetic foot ulcers.
Therapeutic Diabetic Footwear
Extra-depth shoes with soft, seamless interiors, wide toe boxes, and removable insoles. Accommodates foot deformities, custom orthotics, and toe amputations without pressure points that cause ulcers.
Charcot Foot Orthosis (TCC)
Total Contact Cast (TCC) or custom Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker (CROW boot) for Charcot neuroarthropathy. Immobilizes and offloads the Charcot foot to prevent collapse during the acute phase.
Post-Ulcer Offloading Orthotics
Specialized footwear and orthotics that completely offload a healing diabetic foot ulcer. Includes DH pressure relief shoes, forefoot offloading sandals, and custom total contact insoles designed to keep pressure away from wound sites.
Frequently Asked Questions
Diabetic neuropathy reduces pain sensation in the feet, meaning diabetics cannot feel pressure points, blisters, or injuries. Without special orthotics, normal footwear creates pressure hotspots that lead to ulcers, infections, and eventually amputation. Custom diabetic insoles redistribute pressure evenly, while therapeutic footwear eliminates seams and pressure points that damage insensate skin.
Diabetic footwear cost in India: Basic extra-depth diabetic shoes Rs. 1,500–4,000; Therapeutic diabetic footwear Rs. 3,500–10,000; Custom diabetic shoes: Rs. 8,000–20,000; CROW boot for Charcot foot: Rs. 20,000–45,000. Custom diabetic insoles: Rs. 3,000–10,000. Contact Limbgenixx for exact pricing.
Custom diabetic insoles are made after pressure-mapping assessment, which identifies high-pressure areas under the foot. The insoles are designed with cut-outs or soft materials under these pressure hotspots, redistributing load to safer areas. Studies show custom diabetic insoles reduce the risk of diabetic foot ulcer recurrence by up to 60%.
Charcot neuroarthropathy (Charcot foot) is a condition where diabetes-related neuropathy leads to stress fractures and progressive collapse of the foot bones. A Charcot foot orthosis (TCC or CROW boot) immobilizes the foot to prevent collapse during healing and protects the deformed foot from ulceration.
Diabetic footwear is covered under some government schemes. CGHS provides reimbursement for diabetic footwear prescribed by empanelled doctors. PMJAY (Ayushman Bharat) may cover diabetic foot care in certain packages. Contact Limbgenixx to understand documentation required for reimbursement under available schemes.
