The drugstore insole aisle is full of products that promise to fix your feet. But for patients with true biomechanical problems — overpronation, high arches, plantar fasciitis, diabetic pressure points, or post-surgical alignment issues — nothing compares to a custom prescription orthotic designed from a precise 3D scan of your individual foot. At Family Foot & Leg Center, our board-certified podiatrists prescribe custom functional orthotics for patients across Southwest Florida, creating devices that correct the underlying mechanics driving your pain rather than simply cushioning it.

Over-the-counter arch supports are built for a generic foot shape at an average arch height. They can provide modest comfort for mild discomfort. Custom orthotics are prescribed by a podiatrist based on a complete biomechanical evaluation and a 3D image or cast of your specific foot. They are fabricated by a certified orthotics laboratory to correct your unique gait pattern, foot type, and clinical condition. For most patients with diagnosed foot conditions, custom orthotics are covered by insurance when prescribed by a podiatrist.
