Orthotics can also help with different types of back, ankle, and foot pain. Dr. Betschart provides custom orthotics made from the highest-quality materials and craftsmanship. The orthotics are made to fit the specific contours of your feet, ensuring they’re both comfortable and effective.

Most orthotics can be broken down into two groups: rigid and soft. Rigid orthotics are made from less flexible materials like plastic or graphite. Rigid orthotics improve the function of your feet by controlling abnormal movements. Dr. Betschart uses rigid orthotics for conditions like tendinitis or plantar fasciitis.

Soft orthotics are made from softer materials and provide additional cushioning and relief from pressure. Soft orthotics are appropriate for conditions like bunions, arthritis, or diabetic feet.

Dr. Betschart also provides semi-rigid orthotics, which combine both soft and rigid materials to provide additional cushioning and functional support.

If you suffer from problems with your feet or ankles, Dr. Betschart can determine if custom orthotics are right for you. During your appointment, he performs an in-depth evaluation, including a physical exam and review of your medical history.

In some cases, he may perform additional testing like an X-ray or MRI to gather more information about your condition.

For many people, custom orthotics offer an effective and reliable solution to their condition without the need for surgery or other invasive procedures. After your diagnosis, Dr. Betschart works with you to develop your treatment plan.

Custom orthotics may be combined with other conservative treatments like physical therapy or pain relievers.
