Orthotics

Orthotics are specially designed inserts that go inside your shoes.

They help support your feet and improve the way your foot moves. They can be used for many different conditions and activities.

Why You Might Need Orthotics

Orthotics may be recommended when you have pain or issues that come from how your foot or ankle moves. They can help with:

Pain in the heel, arch, or ball of the foot

Flat feet or high arches

Uneven walking or foot motion

Pain from overuse or sports activity

Support for conditions like plantar fasciitis or tendon irritation

Reducing pressure and improving comfort in daily activities

Orthotics help by:

Providing support where your feet need it most

Improving how your foot strikes the ground

Reducing pressure on painful areas

Helping your feet and legs work more efficiently when you walk or run

There are many types — from simple off-the-shelf inserts to more tailored devices your provider may recommend.

You might consider orthotics if:

You have ongoing foot or ankle pain

Shoe inserts you’ve tried haven’t helped

Pain limits your activity level

Pain comes back after rest or activity
