Custom Foot Levelers Orthotics
How your feet hit the ground affects every step your knees take. Custom orthotics correct that foundation so your joints carry less strain.
Foot Levelers orthotics are custom-made supports built from a scan of your feet. They correct imbalances in your stance and stride that quietly overload your knees, hips, and back. We fit them as part of caring for the whole kinetic chain.
We start by scanning your feet to see how you stand and move. From that, your orthotics are made to support your unique structure. Worn in your everyday shoes, they help align your feet and legs so force is shared more evenly up the chain.
Poor foot mechanics send extra stress straight to the knees with every step. Correcting that foundation reduces the load and supports better movement everywhere above it. Dr. Sarah Scharf uses orthotics when the feet are part of why a joint keeps hurting.
