Custom Orthotics

Experience the difference of orthotics made specifically for your feet. Better support, better alignment, better comfort - all day long.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are prescription medical devices that you wear inside your shoes to correct biomechanical foot issues. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are made from precise molds or scans of your feet and are designed to address your specific needs.

Think of them as prescription glasses for your feet. Just as glasses correct your vision based on your unique prescription, custom orthotics correct your foot mechanics based on your unique structure and needs.

Custom vs. Over-the-Counter

While store-bought insoles can provide some cushioning, they're designed for generic feet - and no two feet are alike. Custom orthotics offer:

  • Precise Fit: Made from exact measurements of your feet
  • Targeted Support: Address your specific problem areas
  • Durable Materials: Last years, not months
  • Medical-Grade Correction: Actually treat the underlying condition
  • Professional Guidance: Ongoing support and adjustments as needed

Conditions We Treat with Orthotics

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
  • Flat feet (fallen arches)
  • High arches
  • Bunions and hammertoes
  • Diabetic foot complications
  • Shin splints
  • Knee, hip, and back pain from poor foot mechanics
  • Arthritis-related foot problems
  • Sports injuries and prevention
  • Overpronation or supination

Types of Custom Orthotics

Functional Orthotics

Designed to control abnormal motion and treat conditions like shin splints, tendinitis, and pain caused by abnormal foot movement. Made from semi-rigid materials like plastic or graphite.

Accommodative Orthotics

Provide cushioning and support for painful or sensitive areas. Ideal for diabetic foot care, arthritis, and elderly patients. Made from softer materials.

Sport-Specific Orthotics

Designed for the unique demands of different sports - from running to skiing to golf. Help prevent injuries and improve performance.

The Fitting Process

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Johnson examines your feet, watches you walk, and discusses your symptoms and lifestyle.
  2. Digital Scanning or Casting: We capture precise measurements of your feet using advanced scanning technology.
  3. Custom Fabrication: Your orthotics are manufactured to exact specifications.
  4. Fitting Appointment: We ensure proper fit and make any necessary adjustments.
  5. Follow-Up Care: We check in to make sure your orthotics are working perfectly.

What to Expect

There's typically a short break-in period as your feet adjust to proper alignment. Most patients adapt within a week or two. You'll likely notice less fatigue, reduced pain, and improved comfort throughout the day.

With proper care, custom orthotics typically last 2-5 years, making them a worthwhile investment in your foot health and overall comfort.
