Professional Custom-Made Orthotics at Foster Foot Care Clinic, Fonthill
Custom made orthotics are specially designed medical devices that support and align your feet, helping to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent injury. At Foster Foot Care Clinic, our licensed chiropodist provides comprehensive assessments and custom orthotic solutions tailored to your unique foot structure, gait, and lifestyle needs.
What Are Custom Made Orthotics?
Custom made orthotics are prescription shoe inserts created specifically for your feet. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are designed based on a detailed biomechanical assessment and precise measurements of your feet. They work by correcting abnormal foot mechanics, redistributing pressure, and improving overall alignment from the feet up.
Custom orthotics can be worn in many types of footwear, including everyday shoes, athletic shoes, and work boots.
Conditions Treated With Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics may help relieve pain and manage a wide range of foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions, including:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Flat feet or fallen arches
- High arches
- Achilles tendon pain
- Heel spurs
- Shin splints
- Bunions and forefoot pain
- Knee, hip, and lower back pain related to foot mechanics
- Diabetic foot pressure concerns
💡 Interesting fact: Orthotics can help realign your feet and ankles, which can reduce strain on knees, hips, and even your lower back.

Orthotic Assessment at Foster Foot Care Clinic
Your custom orthotics begin with a thorough assessment by our chiropodist, which may include:
- A detailed health and activity history

Based on your assessment, impressions or scans of your feet are taken to ensure your orthotics are precisely crafted for optimal support and comfort.
Custom Orthotic Fabrication & Fitting
Your orthotics are manufactured using high-quality medical-grade materials designed for durability and effectiveness. Once ready, we ensure proper fit and function, provide guidance on how to gradually adjust to wearing them, and offer advice on appropriate footwear.
Follow-up appointments may be recommended to ensure your orthotics are working effectively and to make adjustments if needed.
