Flat feet occur when the arches of the feet collapse or do not form properly, often leading to pain, fatigue, and imbalance during walking or standing. This condition can also place stress on the ankles, knees, and lower back. Orthotics can help by providing structured arch support, improving foot alignment, and distributing pressure more evenly. These inserts promote better posture and reduce discomfort during daily activities. A podiatrist can evaluate your foot structure, walking pattern, and level of discomfort to create custom orthotics tailored to your specific needs. If flat feet are affecting your comfort or movement, it is suggested that you visit a podiatrist to learn how orthotics can support your arches and improve your overall foot health.

Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts created to support and align the feet according to each person’s unique structure and walking pattern. They are an effective way to relieve foot discomfort caused by conditions such as flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel pain. When the natural alignment of the foot is off balance, it can lead to pressure points, strain, and pain that affect how a person stands, walks, and moves. Orthotics work by redistributing weight evenly and supporting the arch to reduce stress on the muscles, tendons, and joints of the feet and lower legs.

Foot discomfort can develop for many reasons, including wearing improper footwear, long hours of standing, repetitive motion, or underlying structural problems. Over time, this discomfort can extend beyond the feet, contributing to knee, hip, or lower back pain. Custom orthotics help correct these issues by improving alignment and promoting more efficient movement. They are made using precise measurements and imaging to ensure the best fit for each patient, providing targeted support and cushioning where it is needed most.

Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are durable, medically designed, and tailored to your specific needs. Whether you are managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking better comfort and stability, orthotics can make a noticeable difference in how your feet feel throughout the day.
