In addition to supporting problem spots on your feet, custom orthotics can also lift an arch, relieve heel pain, and/or correct toe joint deformities.
Custom orthotics are made specifically for your foot, rather than generic, mass-produced shoe inserts purchased over the counter or online. They fit your foot contours and size and provide you with the support you need.
Since your feet don’t stand still all day, Dr. Roohian also evaluates your stride during a custom orthotics evaluation. Therefore, she is able to gain a deeper understanding of how your feet function when you move. It is impossible to relieve pain without a custom-fit insert, and an insert that doesn’t fit properly can make things worse.

You can benefit from custom orthotics in many ways. Here are some of the ways.
Foot abnormalities are corrected
A custom orthotic can relieve foot pain by correcting structural abnormalities, such as pronation and supination, that contribute to discomfort.
Relieves stress
You may find custom orthotics useful if you suffer from arthritis or stand for long periods at work. They provide cushioning and support by redistributing pressure on your feet. Orthotics can also help prevent diabetes-related foot abnormalities such as pressure ulcers.
Improves the health of the back, knees, and ankles

In addition to foot pain, you may also benefit from custom orthotics if you experience the following:
- Back pain
- Ankle pain
- Knee pain
In order to maintain a healthy range of motion in your joints, muscles, and tendons, you need to maintain proper alignment of your ankles, knees, and back.
Having your feet aligned properly can help prevent these problems by restoring soft tissue and bony structures in the back and lower extremities.
Enhances athletic performance and overall health
The performance of all athletes can be adversely affected by foot abnormalities, whether they are young athletes just starting out or seasoned warriors trying to keep their titles. The only options are running and walking. You may be unable to pitch from the mound, play golf, or cycle on weekends because of foot pain. Custom orthotics can improve your performance.
It is also easier and more enjoyable to run, walk, and work out at the gym when you do not have foot pain.
