Custom Orthotics
Pain and discomfort often start from the ground up. If your feet aren’t properly supported, it can affect your posture, balance, and alignment — leading to pain in the knees, hips, or back. At Palatine Family Chiropractic, we offer custom orthotics designed to support your body’s unique structure and help you move more comfortably.
Support Your Foundation and Improve How You Move
How do we Help with Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts specifically designed to support the arches and biomechanics of your feet. Unlike store-bought insoles, custom orthotics are made from a mold or scan of your feet and tailored to address your individual needs.
They help redistribute pressure, correct alignment, and provide support where your feet and body need it most.
How It Works
We begin with a full evaluation of your posture, gait, and foot mechanics. From there, we use advanced scanning technology to capture the shape and structure of your feet. Based on this information, we create a pair of orthotics that match your unique needs — whether you’re on your feet all day, dealing with pain, or looking to improve stability and performance.
Why It’s Effective
Your feet are the foundation of your body. If they’re not aligned properly, it can lead to pain or compensation in other areas — like your knees, hips, or lower back. Custom orthotics help correct these imbalances, reduce joint stress, and support healthier movement patterns from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are custom orthotics different from store-bought insoles?
Custom orthotics are designed specifically for your foot shape and biomechanics. They provide targeted support and alignment that over-the-counter products can’t match.
How long do custom orthotics last?
Most pairs last between one and two years, depending on how often you wear them and your activity level. We’ll guide you on when they may need to be replaced.
Do I need to wear them all the time?
We typically recommend wearing them during most of your daily activities — especially if you’re walking, working, or exercising.
Can they help with back or knee pain?
Yes. Because poor foot alignment can cause issues further up the body, orthotics often help relieve pain in the knees, hips, and lower back.
