If you’re dealing with any foot or ankle pain, custom orthotics may be the answer. 

Common types of orthotics can include:

  • Shoe inserts
  • Arch supports
  • Pads and cushions
  • Ankle braces

Rogers Foot & Ankle Institute offers custom orthotics for adults and children. The team makes molds of your feet to ensure each orthotic fits correctly and provides optimal foot and ankle support.

The team can determine which orthotics you need during a comprehensive foot and ankle exam. They may also suggest a gait analysis to evaluate how your body moves and how much support your feet and ankles need to stay healthy.

What type of orthotics do I need?

Rogers Foot & Ankle Institute offers custom orthotics made from different materials, ranging from soft foam to rigid plastics. The podiatrists determine which type of orthotics you need based on your overall health and the symptoms you experience.

The team takes precise measurements of your feet and ankles to design orthotics that mold to your body’s unique shape. They send the information to a manufacturer that makes the devices.

When your orthotics are ready, you visit the office for a fitting. The providers ensure the devices are comfortable and fit your feet or ankles.
