What Are Custom Foot Orthotics?
Custom foot orthotics are medical-grade devices designed specifically for your feet, body, and daily activities. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, they are created using a detailed assessment of how you stand and walk, along with a 3D scan or cast of your feet. Your feet are the foundation of your body, and when they do not function properly, added stress can be placed on the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics support your feet in a more efficient position, helping improve alignment, reduce strain on joints and muscles, and enhance overall comfort and function.
What Conditions Can Custom Foot Orthotics Help Manage?
• Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
• Arch pain or flat feet
• Achilles tendonopathy
• Diabetic foot complications
• Knee pain related to alignment or overuse
• Congenital foot deformities
• Shin splints and foot fatigue
• Trauma related to injury
• Osteorthritis and joint pain
• Pain related to standing, walking, or running
• Injury prevention and improved joint longevity
Devices Custom Fit To Your Everyday Footwear
Custom foot orthotics can be made for virtually any type of footwear, including athletic shoes, work boots, dress shoes, and sandals. Each orthotic is custom-fitted to your foot and carefully tailored to fit your specific shoes, providing support, comfort, and improved alignment no matter what you wear.
How Long Do Custom Foot Orthotics Last?
It depends on the type of materials your custom foot orthotics are made from and how often you use them. Semi-rigid devices typically last 3-5 years and soft shell devices typically last 1-3 years. Most custom orthotics can be refurbished to increase their lifespan. If you are unsure whether you need new custom orthotics or if your current ones can be refurbished, book an assessment.
