Custom Orthotics in Keizer, OR, and Wilsonville, OR

If you are experiencing pain that emanates from your feet, you may have tried over-the-counter shoe inserts only to find that they do very little to ease your pain. Advanced Foot Clinic provides custom foot orthotics, which are more effective than over-the-counter inserts. We prescribe custom orthotics for the people of Keizer, OR; Wilsonville, OR; Tualatin, OR; and Salem, OR.



Custom Orthotics Versus Inserts

Typical shoe inserts are over-the-counter products that are designed only to brace and cushion your feet. However, they only make shoes more comfortable and mask symptoms instead of directly treating foot problems.

On the other hand, custom orthotics are customized for your feet and your condition. You can only obtain custom orthotics with a prescription from a licensed podiatrist. Custom orthotics help correct problems with your gait that result in foot and ankle pain. Orthotics also treat foot pain resulting from medical conditions such as flat feet, diabetes, arthritis, bursitis, and plantar fasciitis.

Rigid Versus Soft Orthotics

We correct gait and misalignment issues using custom made orthotics. These orthotics will ease the pain that arises from misalignment issues. This pain can affect not only your feet and ankles, but also your legs, thighs, and even your lower back. custom orthotics also support movement to help align and support your posture.

In addition to correcting gait issues, rigid orthotics help those with flat feet. Rigid orthotics provide support for arches for those with flat feet. Rigid orthotics are custom made by taking the impression of your feet, covered with light cushion.

Soft orthotics, on the other hand, are similar to inserts in that they mostly provide pain relief through their cushioned material. Like rigid inserts, soft orthotics are customized to your feet in order to provide maximum pain relief for your plantar fasciitis, diabetic foot pain, arthritis, or bursitis.
