Custom Foot Orthotics Fountain Valley

Each step you take starts at the feet, and if the foundation is not balanced, the strain can travel from your knees to your hips and even lower back. Insoles available at the drugstores will only mask the symptoms. However, they were not made to adapt according to your feet, hence not treating the root cause.

Custom orthotics follow a different approach. They are based on a precise analysis of your foot strike and aim to fix the imbalance at its source. It realigns your body from the bottom up, so that no pain radiates to the rest of your body.

• Sharp heel pains in the morning.
• Knee, hip, and lower back pain that flares up after long hours of standing.
• Uneven shoes that cause discomfort in your heels.
• Aching arches that collapse by the day's end.
• Multiple ankle rolls, shin splints, and foot fatigue.
