Conditions / Custom orthotics
3D-printed custom orthotics
Support built for your foot. Not a foot.
Drugstore insoles are built for the average of everyone, which is to say, no one. Custom orthotics start with a precise 3D scan of your feet, are designed around your anatomy and how you actually move, and are then 3D printed to match.

Signs your feet are asking for backup.
How we treat it
Measured precisely. Built specifically.
An orthotic only works if it matches your foot and your life: a marathoner, a trading-floor stander, and a weekend walker all need different support. That's why the process starts with assessment, not a scanner.
The assessment
Before anything is scanned, Dr. Farooqi examines your feet, your gait, and the problem you're trying to solve.
- Hands-on exam of foot structure and mechanics
- Digital X-ray when alignment questions need answers
- A clear recommendation, including when orthotics aren't the fix
Scan, design, print
Your feet are 3D scanned in the office, the orthotic is designed around your anatomy and activity, then printed and fitted.
- Millimeter-precise 3D scan, no messy plaster casts
- Design tuned to your activities and footwear
- Fitted in person and adjusted until it's right
From scan to step
Precision you can stand on.
The 3D workflow is what separates these from both drugstore insoles and old-school plaster casting: the scan captures your exact geometry, and the printing process reproduces it faithfully, pair after pair.
Bring the shoes you actually wear to your fitting. Orthotics are designed around your real life, not an idealized one.

Orthotics questions
Asked all the time.
How are these different from drugstore insoles?
The same way prescription glasses differ from a magnifying glass off a rack. Drugstore insoles add generic cushioning; custom orthotics correct and support your specific foot structure based on an exact scan of it.
Does insurance cover custom orthotics?
Some plans do and some don't, and the details vary widely. We'll help you check your specific coverage before anything is made, and self-pay rates are available.
How long do custom orthotics last?
It depends on the materials, your activity level, and how many hours a day they work for you. They're built to be durable, and you'll get honest guidance on lifespan and care at your fitting.
Will they fit in my regular shoes?
That's the plan, literally: your orthotics are designed with your actual footwear in mind. Bring the shoes you wear most to your appointment, dress shoes included.
One visit. A clear answer.
