What Are Custom Orthotics and How Do They Work? 

Custom orthotics provide support and improve the alignment of the feet, which can help alleviate pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and even the lower back. Custom orthotics work by distributing pressure more evenly across the feet, which can reduce stress on areas of the feet prone to injury or pain.

Who Benefits from Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics can benefit those with foot or ankle pain, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, arthritis, or other foot-related conditions. They may also be helpful for athletes or individuals who spend a lot of time on their feet and those with medical conditions that affect the feet, such as diabetes.

How are Custom Orthotics Made?

Our podiatrist makes custom orthotics by casting your foot using a foam impression or a digital scanner. The mold creates a custom insert designed to fit your foot perfectly. Depending on your needs, orthotic materials can be foam, plastic, or carbon fiber.
