Custom orthotics play a crucial role in correcting foot biomechanics, relieving pain, and preventing future injuries. At Greater Texas Foot & Ankle Specialist, board-certified podiatrist and foot & ankle surgeon Dr. Dean Kim offers advanced 3-D custom orthotics to support your feet with precision and comfort. Whether you’re dealing with flat feet, heel pain, sports injuries, or diabetic foot concerns, our orthotics are tailored to restore proper foot function and help you stay active—pain-free.
Custom orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts designed specifically for your foot structure. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, these orthotics are precisely customized to match the exact shape and function of your feet using advanced scanning technology. Dr. Kim carefully evaluates your foot health, gait, and lifestyle to recommend the perfect orthotic solution.
Functional Orthotics
These are ideal for correcting abnormal foot mechanics caused by conditions such as:
Flat feet
High arches (cavus foot)
Bunions or hammertoes
Plantar fasciitis
Functional orthotics help improve weight distribution and walking patterns (gait), reducing stress and pain in the feet, ankles, knees, and even lower back.
Accommodative Orthotics
Designed to support and cushion the feet, these are often used in diabetic foot care or for patients with:
Corns and calluses
Pressure points
Foot ulcers
Fat pad loss
These orthotics are gentle, soft, and supportive—ideal for wound prevention and everyday comfort.
While Dr. Dean Kim often prescribes custom orthotics to treat foot function issues, injuries, and wounds, he may also recommend them as a preventive measure.
Wearing custom orthotics regularly—especially during physical activity—can help reduce strain, improve alignment, and prevent sports-related injuries before they start.
Precision Fit with 3-D Scanning
We use state-of-the-art 3-D scanning and pressure plate analysis to ensure your orthotics match your unique foot anatomy.
