What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts created to support the structure and mechanics of your feet. By helping distribute pressure more evenly during standing, walking, and daily movement, orthotics may assist in improving comfort and overall alignment.

What to Expect

The process begins with an assessment of your foot structure, posture, and movement patterns. Your practitioner will evaluate how your feet interact with the rest of the body and determine whether custom orthotics may be appropriate for your needs. If recommended, orthotics are fabricated specifically for your feet and footwear.

Potential Benefits of Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics may help improve foot support, reduce pressure on sensitive areas, and assist with overall alignment during walking and standing. For some individuals, improved foot mechanics may also help reduce strain in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower back.

Common Reasons People Seek Custom Orthotics

Patients may explore custom orthotics for concerns such as foot discomfort, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, uneven pressure during walking, or lower limb strain associated with prolonged standing, work demands, or athletic activity.
