Some feet need custom orthotics.
Here's exactly how to get them.

Custom foot orthotics built from a 3D scan of your own foot, made to your exact prescription by the clinician who examined you.

What custom means

A custom device starts with your foot, not a chart.

A clinical scan captures the exact shape and position of your foot, held the way a clinician chooses after examining you. Every correction is built onto that shape and can be adjusted afterward if your foot changes. That level of clinical involvement is what makes a device custom.

01

Diagnose. A clinician examines your foot and confirms what is actually wrong.

02

Capture. Your foot is scanned in a specific corrected position, chosen by that clinician.

03

Prescribe. The clinician specifies the frame, posting, and modifications for your case.

04

Build and fit. A lab builds the device to that exact prescription, and your clinician checks the fit.

The capture step

Captured with FootID.

Most providers in this directory capture your foot with FootID Pro, a 3D scanner used right in the office. Your clinician still positions your foot and directs the scan, then reviews it before it goes to the lab.

A couple of minutes.

Done in the office on the same visit as your exam.

Precise 3D capture.

A digital model highly accurate for your exact prescription.

Still clinician-directed.

Your provider positions the foot and reviews the scan.

A custom orthotic corrects how your foot actually moves and loads. Instead of just cushioning the pain, it changes the mechanics causing it.
