Custom Orthotics

Dr. Rebecca works closely with a pedorthist at the orthotic laboratory that she orders all custom orthotics from to ensure that you get the best custom care possible! Dr. Rebecca uses an electronic 3D volumetric scanner to create a digital scan of the foot which operates as the model upon which the orthotic is manufactured.

Whether it’s enjoying a weekend hike, spending time with family, or simply relaxing, orthotics help you feel comfortable and supported in all aspects of your life.

What Are Sport-Specific Orthotics?

Sport-specific orthotics are custom-designed insoles that provide targeted support for your feet based on the demands of your particular sport. Whether you’re running, cycling, skiing, or playing football, these orthotics are tailored to enhance your performance and support your body’s unique needs.

But they’re not just for elite athletes – sport-specific orthotics can help anyone who enjoys being active. Whether you’re recovering faster after a weekend soccer game, enjoying a longer day on the slopes during your annual family ski trip, or enjoying the benefits of your morning jog, custom orthotics are designed to support your lifestyle and help you stay at your best.

How Sport-Specific Orthotics Benefit Athletes:

  • Perfect Fit for Your Sport-Specific Footwear: Whether you’re in running shoes, ski boots, cycling cleats, or court shoes, custom orthotics are made to fit your sport-specific shoes, providing maximum support and helping to ensure proper alignment.
  • Alignment for Peak Performance: Proper foot alignment is crucial for helping to reduce fatigue, enhance balance, and ensure that every movement counts. Orthotics can help optimize your body’s mechanics from the ground up.
  • Support for Active Lifestyles: Whether you’re pushing your limits during training or recovering from an injury, sport-specific orthotics provide the support and comfort you need to stay on top of your game.

How Alignment Impacts Performance:

  • Maximized Force Distribution: Orthotics help evenly distribute forces on your feet and body, reducing pressure on high-stress areas like the knees, hips, and lower back.
  • Improved Stability: They enhance your balance and stability, helping you to make sharper turns, jump higher, and perform dynamic movements more safely.
  • Injury Prevention: Proper alignment can reduce the risk of overuse injuries by ensuring that your body is working efficiently during all athletic activities.

Sport-Specific Benefits:

  • Running & Endurance Sports: Custom orthotics can help reduce foot fatigue, improve stride efficiency, and help prevent/aid in the recovery from injuries like shin splints and plantar fasciitis.
  • Cycling: Custom orthotics can help improve pedal stroke efficiency, reduce knee strain, and enhance power transfer to the pedals with orthotics made for cycling shoes.
  • Team Sports (Basketball, Football, etc.): Custom orthotics can help with lateral stability, reduce foot and ankle injuries, and improve overall mobility on the court or field.
  • Skiing & Snowboarding: Custom orthotics are designed to fit your ski or snowboard boots perfectly, helping to improve foot control, reduce fatigue, and help you maintain balance during descents. Skiers may also benefit directly from increased edge control due to reduced movement within the boot.
  • Golf: Proper foot alignment can help to enhance balance and posture, improve your swing and reduce stress on your lower back.
