Custom Orthotics in New Albany, IN
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are medical grade shoe inserts that support your feet and reduce pain caused by conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and sports injuries. Unlike store bought inserts that are made for general use, custom orthotics are created from a detailed evaluation of your feet and gait. The result is an insert built specifically for your body, activity level, and medical needs.
Why Patients Choose Custom Orthotics
Many patients come to us after trying over the counter inserts without relief. Custom orthotics provide benefits that include:
- Better alignment for the feet, ankles, knees, and hips
- Reduced pain during walking, standing, and exercise
- Improved performance for athletes
- Long term correction instead of temporary cushioning
- Protection from further injury or strain
At Ansert Foot & Ankle Center, PSC, we design orthotics for everyday use, work boots, running shoes, and specialized footwear.
Our Process for Creating Custom Orthotics
1. Medical Evaluation
We will review symptoms, medical history, footwear habits, and activity level.
2. Foot Scanning or Casting
We capture a digital scan or cast of your feet to provide accurate measurements, pressure points, and alignment.
3. Custom Fabrication
Orthotics are created with options ranging from soft cushioning to semi rigid or rigid support.
4. Fitting & Follow Up
When your orthotics arrive, we check the fit and make needed adjustments to ensure comfort and support.
