Custom Orthotics

The benefits of Custom Orthotics

At Arc of Life we use Sole Supports orthotics. Sole Supports are the only custom orthotics available today based on a completely new way of thinking that was developed to actually change foot posture and function during weight-bearing activities. The corrected position of the foot is captured by a unique casting technique that utilizes a certain density of foam and a specific casting method that copy healthy foot stance. The lab positives made from this cast are never "cast-corrected" to lower arch height as is commonly done with other orthotics. The resulting shell fits the shape of the foot like a glove and is machine calibrated to have the right properties of flex and rigidity based on the patient's weight, foot flexibility and activity level. The goal is to significantly limit poor foot postures and yet flex enough for great comfort. This custom level of rigidity/flex makes us unique in the industry and uniquely effective at improving foot function. For more information please visit the sole supports website: www.solesupports.com.
