Custom-made Orthotics

What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom made orthotics are inserts designed specifically for your foot that are constructed based on the individual’s specific pathology. Custom orthotics are designed to support the problem areas in your feet and to fully address foot issues that are specific to you, such as Plantar Fasciitis, Tendonitis, Flat Feet, and foot pain.

Those who may benefit from a custom-made device include individuals with significant foot/ankle deformity, arthritic conditions, diabetic-related foot deformities or those who have not responded well to an over-the-counter device. Our Podiatrists will screen your feet for structural irregularities like high or low arches. They will identify any instabilities or gait problems caused by structural issues in your foot that can lead to ankle, knee, hip, and even lower back pain.

It’s important to understand that custom orthotics are far superior to any over-the-counter shoe inserts you can buy at the store. These shoe inserts can’t relieve the variety of symptoms that custom orthotics can and often may end up causing more pain instead of relieving it. Additionally, custom-made orthotics are designed to address your specific needs and are made to fit your specific foot size and shape.

Custom foot orthotics can improve your quality of life!

What Can I Expect?

Our doctors will conduct a thorough medical history and complete examination of the lower extremity and determine if custom orthotics are a good fit for you. This exam will also help to determine which device is best for you.

If orthotics are needed, a digital three-dimensional capture is obtained of your feet and sent electronically to the orthotics lab. Orthotics can be modified to accommodate and treat specific issues and pathologies in the foot and ankle.

Benefits of 3D Scanning:

• Precision: 3D scanning offers high precision, capturing detailed foot morphology and biomechanics, resulting in accurate orthotic designs.
• Customization: Scanned data can be further customized using digital software to allow for personalized orthotics tailored to an individual's specific needs.
• Efficiency: The scanning process is quicker and less invasive compared to traditional casting methods, reducing discomfort for patients. Less messy than traditional casting methods.
• Digital Data: Digital scans are easily archived, replicated, and shared for collaboration or future orders. Molds or impressions are not damaged during shipping to and from the lab.
• Patient Experience: Generally, offers a more comfortable and modern experience, especially for individuals who may have sensitivities or physical limitations.
