Custom Orthotics Q & A

What are custom orthotics?

Custom orthotics are devices (inserts) you wear in your shoes to address pain, mobility problems, and other foot or ankle concerns.

While over-the-counter orthotics are available, custom (prescription) orthotics typically offer better cushioning and support. Wearing orthotics may help you avoid or delay the need for surgery or other medical procedures.

Which conditions can custom orthotics help treat?

Dr. Stephens might recommend you try custom orthotics if you have any of the following foot or ankle concerns:

Corns
Calluses
Bunions
Flatfoot
High arches
Forefoot pain
Hip Pain
Tendinitis
Hammertoes
Plantar fasciitis (heel pain)
Morton’s neuroma
Runner’s knee
Hallux rigidus (stiff big toe)
Foot or ankle discomfort
Overpronation
Balance problems
Injuries
Gait (the way you walk) abnormalities
Diabetic foot complications

Custom orthotics also help prevent pain caused by many of these conditions.

Am I a candidate for custom orthotics?

Dr. Stephens evaluates your feet and ankles, reviews your medical history, and discusses your symptoms and lifestyle.

He observes your gait as you walk and may order blood tests, onsite foot X-rays, or other imaging procedures to determine which treatment is best for you. He can create and order custom shoe inserts that perfectly conform to the contours of your feet.

What should I expect when wearing custom orthotics?

When you receive custom orthotics, simply wear them as instructed by Dr. Stephens. They help better align your feet and ankles, reduce the risk of foot deformities, and enhance overall foot and ankle function. You might wear foot pads, arch supports, heel liners, insoles, or ankle braces.

Various forms of custom orthotics exist, including those made of semi-rigid or flexible, soft materials. Allow your feet time to adjust to the orthotics, and replace them as needed to optimize your long-term foot and ankle health.

Arise Foot and Ankle also offers medication management, injections, diabetic foot care, foot and ankle reconstruction, tendon rupture repair, laceration repair, and much more.

Call Dr. Stephens anytime you have concerns or questions about your orthotics or other podiatry treatments.
