Custom Foot Orthotics

Orthotics are custom made shoe inserts designed to treat one's foot biomechanics. Poor foot biomechanics may lead to foot, ankle, shin, knee, hip and/or back pain. Orthotic insoles can be simple, generic devices which are sold over the counter in stores.The best orthotics, however, are custom-molded orthotics specially crafted to meet the needs of a particular individual. This is done by making an impression of the foot in an ‘ideal position’ called a non-weight bearing subtalar neutral cast. Specialists in an orthotic laboratory use this cast to mold a high quality orthotic. The finished orthotic is then placed in the patient's shoe and helps keep the foot in proper alignment.

Orthotics can help with:

• plantar fasciitis

• low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction

• Achilles tendinopathy

• knee osteoarthritis

• hip osteoarthritis

• metatarsalgia

• shin splints
