What are custom orthotics?

Custom orthotics are medical devices that fit your foot and address your unique problems. They go into your shoe to provide extra support, improve foot mechanics, or add extra cushioning. 

Specialized Foot and Ankle Care provides comprehensive podiatric care tailored to your needs. They use advanced technology to create custom orthotics that ensure the best fit and results.

What types of orthotics are there?

The team at Specialized Foot and Ankle Care uses different types of orthotics for various foot problems. These include:

Functional orthotics

Functional orthotics improve foot function. The shoe inserts are made of rigid or semi-rigid material and provide support that improves foot movement when walking.

Specialized Foot and Ankle Care can use functional orthotics to treat flat feet, high arches, or foot pain.

Accommodative orthotics

Accommodative orthotics are shoe inserts that adapt to a foot problem, reducing pain. These orthotics are made of soft material, providing cushion and support.

Specialized Foot and Ankle Care would recommend accommodative orthotics to cushion painful corns, diabetic foot ulcers, and bunions.

Who benefits from custom orthotics?

Your podiatrist at Specialized Foot and Ankle Care determines who can benefit from custom orthotics after an evaluation. The team provides custom orthotics to treat foot problems, including:

• Flat feet
• High arch
• Bunions
• Hammertoe
• Heel pain
• Foot pain
• Ankle pain

They can also provide custom-made shoe inserts for athletes to improve foot mechanics and reduce pain during physical activity.

How do I get custom orthotics?

Specialized Foot and Ankle Care uses a 3D computer program to create custom orthotics. After a physical exam, they use the computer to take 3D images of your feet. The images are used to make orthotics that match the exact dimensions of your feet.

When your orthotics are ready, they put them into your shoes and explain when and how to use them. They schedule follow-up visits to monitor your feet and orthotics, creating new orthotics when needed.
