Specialized insoles to correct foot mechanics in Los Angeles.

overview

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom Orthotics are specialized insoles designed to support, correct, or accommodate foot mechanics and structure. There are three primary types of orthotics:

Accommodative Orthotics: Provide cushioning and relieve pressure from bone prominences or sensitive areas without altering foot function.
Functional Orthotics: Modify foot biomechanics to improve movement, alignment, and stability while walking.
Corrective Orthotics: Used primarily in children to help correct foot deformities and promote proper development.

Who Needs Custom Orthotics?

Both children and adults may benefit from custom orthotics, but not everyone with foot concerns requires them. The best podiatrist for orthotics in Los Angeles, Dr. Soomekh, evaluates each patient individually to determine whether custom orthotics are necessary.
