What They Are
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts made to fit your feet perfectly. Unlike store-bought insoles, which are mass-produced, custom orthotics are prescribed by a podiatrist and tailored to address your unique foot structure, gait, and specific conditions. They help redistribute pressure, improve alignment, and provide the support your feet need for comfort and function.
Common reasons patients benefit from custom orthotics include:
-
Flat feet or high arches
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Heel pain or spurs
-
Bunions
-
Arthritis in the feet
-
Sports injuries or overuse conditions
-
Diabetic foot concerns
