What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are prescription shoe inserts made from an exam and a precise impression or scan of your own feet — unlike the one-size-fits-all insoles you’ll find in a store. Because they’re built to your foot and your diagnosis, they can support the mechanics that contribute to your pain, rather than just adding cushioning.

Conditions Custom Orthotics Can Help

Plantar fasciitis and other heel pain
Flat feet, fallen arches, and high arches
Bunions and forefoot pain
Diabetic feet that need pressure relief
General foot fatigue from long hours standing or walking
Morton’s neuroma and other ball-of-foot pain

The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons has a helpful overview of orthotic devices if you’d like more background.

Custom Orthotics in Long Beach: Our Process

1. Exam & gait check — we look at how you stand and walk, and what’s driving your symptoms
2. Impression or scan — we capture the exact shape of your feet
3. Fabrication — your orthotics are made to your prescription
4. Fitting & adjustments — we fine-tune the fit so they feel right in your shoes

Custom vs. Over-the-Counter Inserts

Store-bought insoles can help mild, general discomfort and are inexpensive to try. Custom orthotics are prescribed for a specific diagnosis, made to the shape of your foot, and typically last far longer — which is why they’re often the better choice for persistent or recurring pain. We’ll give you an honest recommendation about which makes sense for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do custom orthotics really work?

For many people, yes — when they’re properly prescribed for the right problem. Because they’re made to your foot and diagnosis, they can support the mechanics behind your pain in a way generic insoles usually can’t.

How long do custom orthotics last?

With regular use, many custom orthotics last several years, though the top covers may need occasional replacement. We’ll check them at follow-ups and adjust as needed.

Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?

It depends on your plan — some cover them, some don’t. Call us at (562) 426-2551 and we’ll help you check your coverage before you commit.

What’s the difference between custom orthotics and store-bought insoles?

Store insoles are generic cushioning; custom orthotics are prescription devices made to the exact shape of your foot for a specific diagnosis, which is why they tend to work better and last longer.
