Podiatrists are experts in foot health who prescribe and craft custom orthotics to address specific foot issues. After assessing your foot structure, gait, and any pain you experience, the podiatrist creates a precise mold or 3D scan of your feet. This ensures the orthotics are tailored to your unique needs. Custom orthotics are worn inside your shoes and are designed to control abnormal motion across the joints of the foot, reducing pain and improving alignment. There are different types of orthotics. Functional orthotics help correct abnormal foot motion. Rigid orthotics provide firm support. Over-the-counter options offer general support but lack customization. Custom orthotics are typically made from high-quality materials like EVA foam, plastic, or carbon fiber. These materials provide durability and the right balance of support and comfort, effectively relieving pain and enhancing mobility. If you feel you might need orthotics, it is strongly suggested that you visit a podiatrist for an assessment and discussion.

The benefits of custom orthotics are far-reaching and can make a significant impact on your daily life. Whether you are an athlete looking to enhance your performance, a healthcare worker on your feet every day, someone who experiences chronic foot pain, or someone who wants to improve their overall comfort and well-being, custom orthotics can be a game changer. 

Custom orthotics provide support, stability, and relief for a variety of foot conditions ranging from flat feet to heel pain. They can even help prevent injuries and address more severe foot concerns, such as plantar fasciitis and diabetic foot issues.
