Many of our patients who need custom orthotics are genetically predisposed with maladaptive foot structures, such as flat feet, high arches, and pronation or supination of the foot, which often trigger painful conditions like plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, arthritis, & more.
At any point in life, these types of feet and the associated pain can become problematic and affect one's work, play, and quality of life.
Fortunately, our custom orthotics are both the proven & prescribed treatment in providing proper arch support to alleviate certain types of foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back pain.
For these reasons & many more, our patients of all ages and activities have benefited from wearing our industry-leading custom orthotics as provided by the expert and caring Certified Pedorthists at Valley Proactive Orthotics®.

Your first visit to Valley Proactive Orthotics® for custom orthotics will entail a comprehensive exam that includes a full medical history, biomechanical assessment and gait analysis, footwear evaluation and, if necessary, a foot casting using either a 3D Volumetric Scan or the Plaster of Paris Technique.
We will also review whether custom orthotics are the right fit for you. Like eyeglasses, not everyone needs them, so it is important that you see a specialist who is trained and experienced in foot anatomy, lower limb biomechanics, footwear, and orthotic fabrication.
