Custom Orthotics Shoe Inserts and Braces in CT

Many foot and ankle problems can be treated without surgery using an orthotic insert or a brace. An orthotic is a device placed in the shoe that externally modifies structure and function in order to minimize pain and correct deformity. Unlike traditional orthotic construction that takes a static foot mold, our physicians use a dynamic digital scan of a patient in the act of walking in order to make the most accurate orthotic. Off-the-shelf inserts can certainly be tried first, but when patients have a specific problem, the orthotic must be customized to be most effective. Custom orthotics can also be made for specific shoes, sport activity, and foot type. The individual patient scan is easily done during an office visit and the custom orthotic will arrive within 10 -15 days.
