Custom foot orthotics are medical devices made to support and align the foot based on a person’s individual structure and walking pattern. Unlike store-bought insoles, custom orthotics are crafted from a mold or digital scan of the foot to target specific problems. They are commonly used to relieve pain, correct abnormal movement, and improve comfort during daily activities. These devices can help manage plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, and heel pain. Athletes and anyone who stands for long periods of time may also benefit from orthotics, which help reduce strain on the feet, ankles, knees, and even the lower back. Materials and design vary depending on age, activity level, and the type of correction needed. Custom orthotics are often worn inside regular shoes and can be part of a long-term treatment plan. If you are experiencing discomfort or pain in your feet, it is suggested that you schedule an appointment with a podiatrist for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics refer to custom inserts designed for placement in different shoe types, including athletic and formal footwear, with the purpose of alleviating a spectrum of foot-related problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and overall foot discomfort. These inserts are instrumental in providing relief and comfort for a diverse range of foot conditions, including heel pain, and can also act as a proactive approach to injury prevention. 

Medical Grade Shoe Inserts: 

A diverse array of shoe inserts is available for addressing foot pain, heel discomfort, and minor issues. For instance, you can place arch supports in your shoes to rectify overarched or flat feet, and gel and cushioned insoles are frequently chosen for the comfort and relief they provide from foot and heel pain by reducing pressure.
