How Custom Orthotics Work and Who Can Benefit From Them

If you experience foot pain, knee pain, or trouble walking, custom orthotics may be the solution you’ve been searching for. These personalized inserts are designed to support and correct the unique structure of your feet—something store-bought insoles simply can’t do.

At The Foot and Ankle Center in The Woodlands, TX, we provide high-quality, medically-designed orthotics for children, adults, athletes, and seniors.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts tailored to your foot’s exact shape and biomechanics.
Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics:

  • Provide precise arch support

  • Correct foot alignment

  • Improve balance

  • Reduce pressure points

  • Offer long-term comfort and stability

They are made using advanced scanning or casting techniques for a perfect fit.

How Do Custom Orthotics Work?

- Orthotics work by improving the way your foot strikes the ground. They help:

1. Align Your Feet and Ankles

- Proper alignment reduces strain on your knees, hips, and lower back.

2. Support Your Arches

- Whether you have flat feet or high arches, orthotics help distribute pressure evenly.

3. Reduce Pain

- They cushion pressure areas and help relieve:

  • Heel pain

  • Arch pain

  • Ball-of-foot pain

  • Tendon strain

4. Improve Athletic Performance

- Orthotics stabilize the foot, reduce injury risk, and improve movement efficiency.

Who Can Benefit From Custom Orthotics?

Orthotics are helpful for many conditions, including:

Plantar fasciitis

Flat feet or high arches

Bunions or hammertoes

Achilles tendonitis

Arthritis

Chronic foot fatigue

Neuropathy or diabetic foot issues
