From the Ground Up
Your feet are the foundation of your body. When the feet aren't functioning optimally, it can lead to a domino effect of pain and discomfort throughout the entire body.
Whether you’re looking to prevent injuries or enhance your daily comfort, custom orthotics can help. By providing personalized support and alignment, orthotic insoles can address a wide range of foot issues and help you move with ease.
What Kind of
Feet Do You Have?
Flat Foot
A low arch can lead to overpronation, where the foot rolls inward excessively. This can cause pain in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back.
Normal Foot
Even a “normal” foot with a medium arch can experience pain and discomfort due to factors like poor footwear and overuse.
High-Arched Foot
A high arch can lead to underpronation, where the foot doesn’t roll inward enough. This can cause pain in the forefoot and ball of the foot.
Store-Bought vs.
True Custom Orthotics
While store-bought insoles can offer some level of support, even the “custom fit” kiosks you can find in stores don’t stack up to expert-made custom orthotics. This is because store-bought insoles only correct the rear of the foot with a lift in the heel. By doing this, they neglect to support the front of the foot (forefoot), and cannot facilitate proper foot mechanics. What does that mean for you? Your foot pain might diminish temporarily, but in the long run that pain will return. With custom orthotics, our foot experts can take into account your walking pattern (gait), individual foot structure, and lifestyle needs.
