What Are Custom Foot Orthotics?
Custom foot orthotics are specialized biomedical appliances that look similar to insoles but serve a much more sophisticated purpose. These devices are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance and biomechanical dysfunction. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot while you walk, providing support where you need it most. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are precision-crafted based on detailed analysis of your unique foot structure, gait pattern, and specific biomechanical needs.
Why Custom Orthotics Make a Difference
We understand that everyone is different, which is why custom foot orthotics are made just for you. Your feet are the foundation of your entire kinetic chain, and when they’re not properly aligned, it can cause problems throughout your body including the ankles, knees, hips, and even the spine. Custom orthotics work to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position, improving your biomechanics and reducing stress on other parts of your body. This personalized approach ensures optimal function and can prevent a wide range of musculoskeletal problems.
Invest in Your Foundation for Better Health
Custom orthotics represent an investment in your long-term musculoskeletal health. By providing proper foot alignment and support, they can alleviate existing pain, prevent future problems, and improve your overall quality of life. Whether you’re an athlete looking to optimize performance or someone dealing with chronic foot, leg, or back pain, custom orthotics can provide the foundation correction needed for better function and comfort in all your daily activities.

Common Questions About Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are precision-made biomedical appliances based on detailed analysis of your specific foot structure and biomechanics. Unlike generic insoles, they're designed to correct your unique imbalances and provide targeted support exactly where you need it, making them far more effective for treating and preventing problems.
Custom orthotics can help with plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, heel pain, knee pain, hip pain, lower back pain, and various other conditions caused by poor foot biomechanics. They're also beneficial for athletes seeking to optimize performance and prevent injuries.
The process begins with a comprehensive biomechanical assessment including gait analysis and foot examination. We then take precise measurements and impressions of your feet. Using this data, the orthotics are custom manufactured to match your exact specifications and biomechanical needs.
With proper care, custom orthotics typically last 3-5 years for adults and 1-2 years for children (due to growth). The lifespan depends on your activity level, body weight, and how well you maintain them. We'll monitor their condition and let you know when replacement is needed.
Ideally, custom orthotics should be worn in your primary daily shoes. We can make different types for different activities (dress shoes, athletic shoes, etc.) or provide guidance on shoe selection that works best with your orthotics for maximum benefit.
Most people adapt to custom orthotics within 1-2 weeks. We typically recommend a gradual break-in period, starting with a few hours per day and gradually increasing wear time. This allows your body to adjust to the improved alignment and biomechanics.
