Custom Made Plaster Casted Orthotics

Foot orthoses (commonly known as “orthotics”) are custom-designed medical supports. Unlike over-the-counter (OTC) inserts, custom orthotics are engineered to address the specific biomechanical imbalances between your feet and legs. At StepByStep Professional Family Footcare, our custom orthotic devices are designed to assist feet that lack optimal biomechanical alignment. By controlling abnormal foot function and re-establishing proper weight distribution, orthotics work to improve your overall lower-limb mechanics. The Plaster-Casting Process We believe in a meticulous, “no-shortcuts” approach to foot health. Our process is designed to be comprehensive, ensuring that every device we dispense is tailored to the patient’s clinical needs.

• Comprehensive Biomechanical Evaluation: Your care begins with a detailed exam. Our Chiropodist performs a thorough evaluation, including medical history and gait analysis, to understand your unique movement patterns. We also consider your activity levels and footwear to ensure your management plan is integrated into your lifestyle.
• Precision 3D Plaster Casting: Following your assessment, we take a precise, non-weight-bearing plaster cast of your feet in their optimal neutral position. This traditional ” standard” technique captures the true contours of your foot, ensuring a level of accuracy that generic supports cannot achieve.
• Clinical Prescription & Craftsmanship: Your casts and our clinical prescription are sent to a specialized laboratory. Expert technicians use durable, high-impact materials to handcraft your orthotics according to our exact specifications.
• Alignment & Functional Support: Once your devices are ready, we provide a structured break-in protocol and follow-up care. The result is an orthotic that provides the structural support necessary to alleviate discomfort and optimize your biomechanics.

Management for Long-Term Mobility Custom orthotics are a primary tool for managing a variety of conditions, including:

• Plantar Fasciitis and chronic arch pain
• Bunions and forefoot discomfort
• Metatarsalgia and pressure-related issues
• Gait Imbalances affecting the knees and lower back
