Orthotics
A custom Orthotic is a device designed to align your foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole and they look like insoles, but they are biomechanical medical appliances that are tailored to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics reduce the stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. They help realign the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during your unique gait cycle thereby improving foot biomechanics. Orthotics position your foot so you use the right muscles at the right time, minimizing fatigue and increasing physiological efficiency.
What Conditions Can Be Treated With Custom Orthotics?
Custom Orthotics are a completely personalized treatment option to restore optimal functionality to your whole body by aligning and supporting your foot. They are effective at addressing many foot impairments and deformities as well as a variety of associated conditions including:
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Bunions
- Congenital Flat Feet
- Hammer Toe
- Heel Spurs And Pain
- Hip Syndromes (Including Iliotibial Band Syndrome)
- Knee Pain
- Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
- Metatarsalgia
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Spinal Mobility
Why Choose Custom Orthotics?
Foot pain can be caused by injury, repetitive use, congenital deformities, inflammation, and disease. And when your foot is impaired it can impact your whole body causing motion, gait, and balance problems, and pain to your ankles, knees, hips, back, and even your shoulders and neck. Proper foot and ankle alignment will support your body’s peak function and help you walk straight and stand tall. Custom orthotics are an effective and accessible way to relieve pain, improve movement, and support your body from head to toe.

Custom Orthotic FAQs
Many private health insurance providers have coverage for custom Orthotics. It is also possible to leverage your health spending account for Orthotics. Check with your provider for specific coverage details on your plan. We do offer direct billing as a convenience for you.
Custom Orthotics do work. For some conditions such as bunions or flat feet, custom Orthotics will not fix or heal the problem, but in all cases, Orthotics will realign your foot, reposition and support your foot structures, and correct your step to relieve foot pain, improve function, and help avoid injury.
You really should wear your orthotics whenever possible; they will help your foot function properly and help you avoid pain and fatigue. Some patients will opt for a second pair of orthotics for different types/function shoes.
