How Do Foot Orthotics Work?

  • It starts with a foot exam: We will begin by examining your feet and making a cast of your feet, so we can make custom foot orthotics that are designed exactly for your specific pain points and support needs.
  • Extra cushioning inside your shoe: You can then wear your foot orthotics inside your shoe. While they will feel more like extra cushioning inside your shoe, they will actually be providing support and stability for your feet.
  • Alleviate foot pain: Foot orthotics work to alleviate your foot pain by redistributing the weight and pressure on your feet. This can also help to reduce strain on your muscles and ligaments in your feet and other parts of your body.
  • Improve foot function: Foot orthotics also help to improve your foot function by controlling abnormal motion of the feet and correcting any alignment issues that might have been otherwise affecting your foot function and comfort.

We are happy to assess your feet to determine whether foot orthotics might be beneficial for you and what type of orthotics might offer the support you need. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
