Orthotics

What are orthotics?

Orthotics are inserts that go inside your shoes. Unlike the arch supports and insoles you see at the local pharmacy, custom orthotics are individually designed to fit the specific structure of your feet. Custom orthotics also last longer because they’re higher-quality materials than over-the-counter orthotics. 

The team at 43rd St. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation uses Foot Levelers, the world’s leading provider of custom orthotics. Foot Levelers uses revolutionary technology to create individualized orthotics for your unique biomechanics.

What problems do orthotics treat?

Your feet serve as the foundation for your whole body, so it’s important to make sure they’re stable and comfortable. The team at 43rd St. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation uses custom orthotics to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Heel pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
  • Pain in the arch, toe, or ball of the foot
  • Lower back pain
  • Knee pain
  • Hip pain
  • Shin splints
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Bunions
  • Tired and aching legs


But you don’t need to be in pain to benefit from orthotics. A pair of custom orthotics can improve function, comfort, and performance in day-to-day life. Athletes can also benefit from a boost in athletic performance.

How can I get Foot Levelers orthotics?
