Custom Orthotics and Foot Care
Understand Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are more than shoe inserts—they’re precision-engineered medical devices designed to correct foot movement, redistribute pressure, and address everything from heel pain to balance issues. At Foot Clinic, Dr. Anthony Spitz combines expert biomechanics assessment with state-of-the-art fabrication to deliver orthotic solutions that enhance comfort and prevent future complications.
What Are
Orthotics?
Orthotics are prescription devices that replace your standard insoles to:
- Redistribute Pressure: Offload painful areas like heels or metatarsal heads
- Correct Gait: Improve foot alignment to reduce strain on joints up the kinetic chain
- Enhance Stability: Aid balance and proprioception for safer movement
They’re tailored to your unique anatomy, making them far more effective than over-the-counter options.
