Understanding orthotics

What are custom orthotics?

Orthotics are devices you wear to ease foot and ankle problems. They range from store-bought shoe inserts to custom-made devices.2 Custom orthotics are shaped to your own feet, not to an average foot.

Custom orthotics can be made from a plaster mold, a foam impression, or a computer scan of your feet.2 Every Chiropractic Company clinic offers custom-made orthotics from Foot Levelers, built from a digital scan of your feet.3

Orthotics are one part of care, not a stand-alone fix. Your doctor looks at your feet, how you stand and move, and your goals. Then you decide together whether orthotics make sense.

How it works

From foot scan to custom orthotics

Every step is explained in plain language, and you choose what happens next.

  1. Get a free foot scan

    A quick digital scan shows your arches and how your weight spreads across each foot. You simply stand on the scanner.

  2. Review it with your doctor

    Your doctor explains what the scan shows. They may also check how you stand, walk, and move, and ask about your shoes and daily routine.

  3. Decide together

    If orthotics could help, your doctor explains why. If they aren’t a fit, you’ll hear that too. There’s no obligation to buy.

  4. Fitting and break-in

    Foot Levelers makes your orthotics from your scan. Your doctor checks the fit and explains how to ease into wearing them. It can take up to a month for your feet to adjust.2

Research

What research says about orthotics

Not a fix on their own

A 2023 heel pain guideline says inserts, store-bought or custom, shouldn’t be used alone for short-term pain relief in plantar fasciitis.1

Helpful as part of a plan

The same guideline says inserts may be used with other care to help reduce heel pain and improve function.1

Give your feet time

Cleveland Clinic notes it can take up to a month to adjust to orthotics. How long they last depends on the material, your activity, and your weight.2

That guideline covers heel pain. For knee, hip, or back pain, ask your doctor what’s known for your situation. We’ll give you a straight answer, and we’ll pair orthotics with other care when it makes sense.
