Why Orthotics Matter ?

Orthotics are often thought of as just simple shoe inserts, but custom orthotics are medical devices specifically designed to address structural and biomechanical issues in the feet. By improving alignment and reducing abnormal motion, orthotics can help relieve stress not only in the feet, but also in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Because the feet are the foundation of the body, proper support plays an important role in overall mobility and comfort.

At our Forest Hills, NY office, custom orthotics are used to treat a variety of conditions, such as:
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Heel Pain
  • Flat feet (Pes Planus)
  • High Arches (Pes Cavus)
  • Bunions & Hammertoes
  • Tendonitis & Ligament Pain
  • Arthritis-Related Foot Pain
  • Knee, Hip, or
    Lower Back Pain
  • Diabetic Foot Conditions

Types of Custom Orthotics We Offer

At Curalta Foot + Ankle in Forest Hills, NY, orthotics are fitted based on each patient’s individual condition, activity level, and foot structure.

  • Functional Orthotics: Designed to control abnormal foot motion and improve biomechanics. Commonly recommended for plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, overpronation, and sports-related injuries.
  • Cushioned (Accommodative) Orthotics: Provide added support and shock absorption for patients with arthritis, diabetic foot concerns, sensitive feet, or painful calluses and corns.
