How We Help You Get Custom Orthotics Here in Denver, CO
Getting your custom orthotics done is a process that involves several steps. While it’s a more time-consuming process than simply snagging over-the-counter inserts, the benefits are worlds away.

Once your custom product is finished, we’ll ensure that it fits and performs as it should.
What Are Custom Orthotics Used For?
The purpose of custom orthotics is to control the alignment and function of the foot. They are effective for changing the way you apply pressure to the bottom of the foot. With your new orthotics in place, you’ll be able to stop or manage any harmful rolling or movement of the foot. People often find that altering the position of their feet using orthotics assists with reducing pain, stopping calluses and creating overall comfort.
Custom orthotics are commonly used for bunions, heel spurs, plantar fasciitis and tendinitis. Taking care of your feet this way can really help to bolster the efforts that you’re putting in through other treatments and rehab therapies because you’re not “undoing the work” as soon as you walk out the door after your appointment. In fact, researchers cite orthotics as being effective, well-tolerated options for pain relief and improved function both when used alone and in conjunction with conventional therapies.
