Custom Modeled Orthotics

Custom modeled orthotics are prescription shoe inserts shaped to your feet to support alignment and relieve pressure in the foot and ankle. They help manage pain from conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, heel pain, and arthritis. By redistributing weight and guiding motion, orthotics support bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons so you can stand and walk comfortably. We typically recommend them when symptoms persist despite rest, activity changes, over-the-counter inserts, or proper footwear. At OrthoNJ, your specialist evaluates whether custom devices fit your goals and daily activities.

What Custom Modeled Orthotics Entails

During your visit, we examine your gait and foot mechanics and take precise measurements using a 3D scan or a mold. A lab fabricates the inserts to match your foot shape and shoe type, and we fine-tune the fit at delivery. This noninvasive approach supports the affected soft tissues and joints, helping reduce pain and irritation without surgery or downtime.

Custom Modeled Orthotics Recovery

Most people ease into their orthotics over one to two weeks, starting with short wear times and building up as comfort allows. You may notice gradual relief over several weeks as tissues settle and mechanics improve, and we may pair orthotics with stretching, strengthening, or physical therapy. Timelines vary with activity level and the underlying condition, and longer adjustment may be needed when symptoms have been present for months.
