Custom Orthotics

Foot orthoses (or orthotics) are specialized foot inserts that can be used to treat a variety of foot problems, including collapsed arches, heel pain, calluses and much more. At our office we custom make our foot orthoses to address each individual patient's needs. Our foot orthoses also differ from other over the counter foot inserts and even most custom foot orthoses because they are made utilizing the neutral suspension technique. This technique captures the foot in a suspended position, allowing the mold to reflect the foot's optimum position without any weight bearing forces acting upon it. These special molds are then sent to a lab with a specific prescription to create the custom foot orthoses. Several different varieties of orthotics can be made to fit into different shoes, so treatment plans can be tailored to fit several types of lifestyle or athletic goals. Scheduling a consultation appointment is the first step to see if foot orthoses could benefit you! Call our office and we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
