Taking Every Step Without Pain—That's What Custom Orthotics Can Do for You
If you're experiencing foot pain, heel discomfort, or find that your knees, hips, or back ache after standing or walking, the problem might literally be right under your feet. Your feet are the foundation of your entire body—when they're not properly supported, pain can radiate upward affecting your knees, hips, and even your spine.
At Active Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art computerized gait analysis to identify exactly how your feet move and where they need support. Then we design custom orthotics specifically for your unique foot structure and walking pattern—not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a personalized support system that addresses your specific needs.

What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts that are specifically designed and manufactured for your individual feet. Unlike drugstore insoles that offer generic cushioning, custom orthotics are precisely crafted based on a detailed analysis of your foot structure, gait pattern, and specific condition.
Think of them as prescription eyeglasses for your feet—they're tailored to correct your specific biomechanical issues. Custom orthotics work by redistributing pressure across your feet, supporting your arches properly, and aligning your feet in a way that reduces stress on your entire body.
