Custom Foot Orthotics – Made For Comfort
Custom Foot Orthotics
Foot orthotics are orthopedic devices that help change and/or control biomechanical insufficiencies throughout the kinetic chain, starting with the client’s base of support.
At Garnet Orthopedic Solutions, we are experts in foot orthotic fitting and fabrication techniques, which allows us to provide the best solution for you.
Whether a custom orthotic, an over-the-counter orthotic, shoe modification, or collaboration with another clinician at The OEV Health Quarters, we strive to find your orthopedic solution.
Orthotic Insoles V.S. Custom Inserts
Custom orthotics are very different from footbeds that come with footwear or over-the-counter orthotics. Insoles, or inserts, are commonly an off-the-shelf product and are typically found in drug stores and other retail stores.
They are designed to cushion your step as you walk and provide shock absorption. Although you may find them comfortable, they are not designed to treat or help prevent biomechanical problems to the extent a custom orthotic can assist with.
A prescription from a medical doctor is your first step to take on your journey to comfortable feet.
If you don’t have one, don’t worry!
A certified Pedorthist from our team at Garnet Orthopedic Solutions will review your medical history, assess your physical requirements, and determine your lifestyle needs to design the most appropriate orthotic.
A 3D imprint of your foot will be taken with your foot in a corrected position to achieve maximum comfort and alignment.
Every step is taken with care and our Garnet team by your side to make sure everything is smooth.
Following the specifics of the pedorothist’s orthotic design, the orthotic will be manufactured through traditional methods, such as CNC milling.
Additionally, our new 3D SLA printer can complete the manufacturing of insoles in a matter of hours, not weeks.
Your custom orthotics are fit to appropriate footwear with consultation on short and long term expectations and outcomes.
Our Team at Garnet Orthopedic solutions will meet with you to ensure a quality fit and finish.
When wearing new orthotics, a break-in period may be need for your body and brain to adjust to the new alignment over a 2 – 4 week period.
Like any change to your body and the mechanics of moving, it will take time for the rest of your body to catch up to your feet.
Our staff will follow-up within two weeks of your fitting appointment to ensure proper use, comfort, and outcomes are being achieved.
For any questions regarding maintenance, refurbishment, or desired outcome, we encourage you to contact us at your convenience.
