Biomechanics & Orthotics

Support for Better Movement

Improving Function and Reducing Pain With Orthotics

When poor biomechanics affect how your feet move, it can lead to chronic pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and even the back. Orthotics—whether over-the-counter or custom—are an effective way to correct alignment, relieve discomfort, and restore proper function.


Over-the-counter orthotics can provide quick relief for mild issues, especially for patients with minimal deformity or light weight-bearing jobs. They are affordable, fit most shoes, and can help reduce pain. However, they cannot address complex conditions or severe deformities.


Custom orthotics are specifically designed to your unique foot shape and condition. They can be used to treat a wide range of problems, including bunions, tendonitis, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and flat feet. Using advanced technology such as 3D scanning, our podiatrists design orthotics that provide both support and comfort. These devices may take a short break-in period, and occasional adjustments ensure long-term effectiveness.


By restoring proper biomechanics, orthotics can reduce foot and ankle pain while also improving overall alignment, helping many patients move more comfortably and return to an active lifestyle.
