If you are experiencing persistent pain or other problems in your ankle, heel, or toes, you might benefit from the use of custom orthotics. These shoe inserts also can help some people with chronic knee pain, or pain that lasts for more than three months. Children and teens can benefit from custom orthotics for excessively high arches (pes cavus) or excessively low arches (pes planus).

During your evaluation, we will make a plaster cast of your foot. We will then send this cast to our lab for fabrication of your custom orthotics. This process generally takes two to three weeks. We sometimes find that a non-custom orthotic may be a better option, and if so, we will recommend an appropriate over-the-counter shoe insert. We will also advise you whether you would benefit from physical therapy to manage and improve your condition.
Most insurance plans cover an orthotics evaluation as part of a regular physical therapy evaluation, but please confirm your specific coverage with your insurance provider. The cost to create your custom orthotics is $250, which we will collect when we create your plaster foot cast.
You will need a prescription and referral from your primary care doctor or another physician to access our orthotics service.
Connect with our team so we can discuss your orthotics options.
