Custom Orthotics Solutions for Optimal Foot Health

Medical grade orthotics are specialized devices designed to be worn inside shoes to correct foot position, improve gait, and reduce pain. Unlike over the counter arch supports that offer mild cushioning for general comfort, these orthotics effectively redistribute pressure across the foot and realign joints. They can be made to fit all types of shoes.

A custom orthotic, including arch supports, is prescribed and created for each individual patient. A medical diagnosis is determined by one of our physicians prior to prescribing medical grade orthotics. Our physicians conduct a comprehensive lower extremity and gait exam to identify the type of insert and modifications needed to optimize function. We utilize advanced diagnostic technology to capture the exact contours of your foot in its most functional position, ensuring that high-quality, medical grade materials are used in every device.

Retail arch supports are prefabricated for general comfort and provide minor arch support. Generally, they are of lower quality compared to medical grade orthotics and are mass-produced. These products are not custom medical devices. Locations such as The Good Feet Store may claim to offer a personally fitting orthotic, but they essentially provide over-the-counter shoe inserts. Moreover, the staff at these stores typically lack medical training or licensing.

Please call the office to inquire about the cost of medical grade orthotics. Occasionally, the cost can vary based on the diagnosis and the medical issues being treated. It's important to note that most insurances do not cover arch supports, except in specific cases. Unlike retail stores like the Good Feet Store, which often overcharge for a prefabricated plastic insert, custom orthotics are made with medical-grade materials tailored to the patient's individual needs.
