Custom orthotics
Support made to match the shape of your foot
Custom orthotics are medical shoe inserts designed to reduce pressure, improve alignment, and relieve pain caused by structural foot problems. They are shaped specifically for your feet based on a detailed exam and often used to treat conditions like flat feet, heel pain, or arthritis.
Unlike store-bought inserts, custom orthotics are made from molds or scans of your foot and are built to last. They can help reduce symptoms, improve walking comfort, and support long-term joint health.
Common Questions about Custom orthotics
What conditions do orthotics help with?
They’re commonly used for plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, arthritis, and foot pain from diabetes or poor biomechanics. Some patients also use them for ankle, knee, or back pain linked to foot alignment.
How are they made?
We perform a physical exam and use 3D scanning or molds to capture your foot shape. The orthotic is built to fit inside your shoes and address your specific needs.
Do orthotics work in all shoes?
Most work best in athletic or supportive shoes. We can recommend footwear that fits the insert properly.
How long do they last?
Custom orthotics usually last one to five years, depending on how often you wear them and how much support your feet need. Some may need adjustments over time.
Are orthotics uncomfortable at first?
Some people feel mild pressure or need a short break-in period. We give guidance on how to wear them and make adjustments if needed.
Does insurance cover custom orthotics?
Coverage varies by plan. Our staff can help you check your benefits before ordering them.
