Custom Functional Orthotics

Podiatrists and many other physicians may recommend custom orthotics to help alleviate your foot pain and accommodate or correct a foot problem. Unlike the insert that comes with your shoe or that you’d find over-the-counter, custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet and are cast with different technologies to correct functional issues, improve your biomechanics and gait, or accommodate certain problems with your feet. There are many benefits of wearing custom orthotics:

  • Provide Foot Support – your feet are very complex. With 26 bones and more than 100 muscles, tendons or ligaments, our feet can benefit from the right kind of support. We put a significant amount of wear and tear on our feet every day and a custom orthotic can help relieve the strain and pressure on the different parts of our feet.

  • Correct abnormal biomechanics – sometimes our feet don’t work exactly as they were intended. A custom orthotic can help provide functional correction for your feet.

  • Improved comfort – custom orthotics often use materials that provide superior comfort to most standard shoe inserts. Better materials often means less pain.

  • Reduced pain – your orthotics can help reduce pain in your feet due to deformity or improper motion. Certain materials and modifications can also be used to help reduce pressure and friction in your shoes.

  • Decreased fatigue and improved physical performance – when your body is properly aligned, you can perform better and your joints and muscles work more efficiently. Custom orthotics can help facilitate that process.

At Feet For Life, we use the latest technology and proven methods to produce the highest quality custom orthotics available. We use both traditional casting methods, as well as 3D scanning technology, to produce orthotics that are made specifically for your unique feet.

If custom orthotics are not necessary, we can also help you find high quality accomodative shoe inserts.
