Custom Orthotics Fabrication
Custom Orthotics Fabrication
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts shaped to an individual's foot structure and gait, designed to correct alignment, cushion pressure points, and support the foot and ankle during daily activity or recovery from injury. Patients often seek them after a sprain, fracture, or ongoing strain that changes how weight is distributed through the foot.
When Orthotics May Help
- Foot or ankle injury recovery — supporting healing tissue and reducing strain during movement.
- Uneven gait or alignment concerns — helping distribute pressure more evenly across the foot.
- Ongoing joint or muscle discomfort — easing stress that travels up through the ankles, knees, or lower back.
Who Provides This Care
Dr. Throy Austero, DPM, evaluates foot and ankle concerns and can fabricate custom orthotics as part of a broader treatment plan for injuries affecting the foot and ankle.
Part of a Larger Plan
Orthotics fabrication is often paired with other on-site care, such as manual therapy and joint mobilization or rehabilitative exercise equipment, to support overall recovery and movement.
