Custom Foot Orthotics

What are Orthotics?
Custom made foot orthotics are specifically designed and manufactured to your own feet. Orthotics are designed to properly redistribute the weight on the foot and correct any abnormal foot motion. If need be, they are a corrective device intended to alleviate any biomechanical problems in walking and standing. By correcting these problems, other symptoms due to improper foot mechanics such as shin splints, knee pain, hip pain and low back pain may be alleviated or reduced.

How do I know if I am a good candidate for orthotics?
Almost anyone can achieve some benefit from an orthotic. There are several common symptoms that may indicate misalignment of the feet. You may be a candidate for orthotics if:

• One side of the sole of your shoe wears out faster than the other
• You frequently sprain your ankle
• You have chronic heel, knee, or lower back pain
• Your shins hurt
• Your toes are not straight
• Your feet point inward or excessively outward when you walk
• Your fee hurt in general

The doctor will perform a comprehensive examination and gait analysis to determine if you are a candidate for orthotic therapy or if there are underlying causes for your problem.

What is the process involved in ordering orthotics?
Following an examination and gait analysis, if you are a suitable candidate the doctor will take impressions of your feet using foam casts. This cast is sent away to make a custom orthotic designed for your particular foot imbalance. You can get a custom orthotic insert only which fits in the bottom of most shoes. Or you can purchase both a shoe and custom orthotic to fit. The entire process takes only a few weeks.

How much do they cost?
Price varies depending on the orthotic and shoe selected. Please call for an appointment if you would like to obtain a quote for the orthotic that is best for you.
