As your feet are the foundation of your body you want them to be healthy and feel great. Orthotics are devices that are used to improve foot function and relieve pain. These shoe inserts can be custom-made to fit each individual’s needs, or they can be bought over the counter. There are a variety of different types available, and they can be used to address a variety of foot conditions.

Conditions That May Be Helped

Orthotics are beneficial for people with a wide range of foot conditions, including but not limited to

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Heel spurs
  • Flat feet
  • High arches
  • Back Pain
These foot forms help to align the foot and distribute pressure evenly, which can help to reduce pain and improve function. They can also help to correct any biomechanical problems that may be causing the foot pain. If you are experiencing foot pain, please contact our practice for an evaluation with our chiropractor. We can determine if orthotics would be beneficial for you and can provide you with a prescription for a custom-made pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are custom-made better than over-the-counter orthotics?

Custom-made ones are made specifically for your feet, which means they will fit better and be more comfortable than over-the-counter versions. Additionally, custom-crafted shoe inserts are made of higher quality materials and will be more durable than over the counter versions.

Finally, these custom shoe inserts can help correct any alignment problems you may have with your feet, which can improve your posture and reduce your risk of injury.

How long do customized ones last?

The lifespan of customized orthotics can vary depending on how often they are used and how well they are taken care of. We recommend replacing them approximately every two years to ensure optimal support and effectiveness.

Yes, orthotics can be made for different types of shoes. For example, a person might need a special pair made for running shoes, or they might need a different type for dress shoes.
