Custom Orthotics
What are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specially-made devices designed to support and comfort your feet. They are tailored to fit your unique foot structure and address specific foot issues you may have. Unlike over-the-counter shoe inserts, custom orthotics are crafted after a podiatrist takes a detailed impression of your feet, often using 3D imaging or plaster casting. This ensures that they match the contours of your feet precisely and meet your specific needs.
