Custom Orthotics

We specialize in providing customized orthotic solutions to address a wide range of foot and ankle issues effectively. Orthotics, also known as orthoses, are specialized devices designed to correct irregularities or problems with feet and ankles, offering enhanced support and comfort tailored to individual needs.

Initially, individuals often try over-the-counter orthotic devices for added support. However, if these standard options prove ineffective, custom orthotics may be recommended to achieve optimal results. Custom orthotics are uniquely crafted supportive foot devices specifically designed to accommodate the unique characteristics and dimensions of the user's foot, offering personalized relief and support.

Our custom orthotics are akin to prescription eyeglasses for your feet, meticulously designed to place the foot and ankle in the most anatomically desirable, comfortable, and efficient position possible. Utilizing advanced 3D scanning technology, we create orthotics that are precisely tailored to each patient's foot anatomy after a thorough evaluation by our podiatrists.

There are two primary categories of custom orthotics:

1. Accommodative Orthotics: These softer devices primarily provide extra support and cushioning, making them ideal for patients with conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, painful corns or calluses, or similar issues.

2. Functional Orthotics: Made of semi-rigid materials, functional custom orthotics correct abnormal motions of feet and ankles, often recommended for treating injuries such as tendinitis, shin splints, or structural abnormalities of the foot or ankle.

Benefits of personalized orthotics include targeted relief for various foot conditions such as tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, foot, ankle, and heel pain, as well as diabetic foot ulcers. While custom orthotics may incur higher costs compared to over-the-counter options, many patients find the added benefits well worth it. Moreover, custom orthotics are crafted from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and longevity, and are often covered by health insurance plans.

Patients receive instructions on how to properly use and care for their orthotic devices, with periodic adjustments to achieve a precise fit and maximize comfort. Our custom orthotics come in various forms, including custom cut foot pads for specific foot issues, custom shoe inserts designed for individual feet, and customized ankle braces for conditions requiring immobilization of the heel and ankle.

Ultimately, custom orthotics offer invaluable support and relief for individuals with unique foot formations or abnormalities, helping alleviate discomfort associated with daily foot movements, aiding in the healing process of injured feet, and restoring stability. With personalized orthotic solutions, many patients may experience relief, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for surgical intervention altogether.
