Custom Orthotics in Wappingers Falls, NY
Comprehensive, Customized Care for Painful Foot Conditions
Did you know that thousands of people experience constant foot pain? If you are one of them, it may be time to consider custom orthotics in Wappingers Falls, NY at Hollowbrook Foot Specialists, P.C. Many times, poor shoe choice with little to no arch support can lead to foot pain and other issues. Shoes such as flip-flops, sandals, flat boots, and ballet slippers are examples of shoes that won’t provide you with the support you need to comfortably support your arch.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics, or custom arch supports, come in many shapes and sizes. They can be used as a preventive measure or to help relieve pain or discomfort associated with an injury or congenital abnormality. Custom orthotics are also known as custom insoles and are specifically made to conform to your foot, thereby helping correct issues within the structure of your feet, ankles, and legs. Trust our board-certified, compassionate podiatrist to help you find the right custom arch supports for you.
Issues Custom Orthotics Can Treat
While custom orthotics can help correct and prevent many of your foot and ankle issues, research shows that some of the more effective uses of orthotics are to prevent and treat plantar fasciitis and stress fractures of the tibia (shin bone).
Custom arch supports can also help:
- Increase strength and performance if you’re an athlete
- Prevent injury if you walk or stand excessively
- Prevent diabetic foot issues such as ulcers
- Flat feet
- Plantar fasciitis
- Feet with high arches
- Tendonitis
- Shin splints
- Calluses
- Bunions
- Corns
- Hammertoes
- Aching legs
- Lower back pain
- Heel pain
- Pronation
If you’re dealing with any of the above, custom arch supports may be the treatment you’ve been searching for to deal with your pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do custom orthotics usually last?
Most custom devices last one to five years, depending on your activity level, body weight, and the materials used. We recommend periodic checkups so we can assess wear, make adjustments, or refurbish them if needed. Significant changes in your weight, health, or activity can also affect how long your orthotics remain effective.
Can custom orthotics help with knee, hip, or back pain?
Yes, in many cases they can, because your feet are the foundation for the rest of your body. When your foot alignment improves, the joints above often experience less strain, which can reduce discomfort in your knees, hips, and lower back. We evaluate your posture, gait, and pain pattern to see whether orthotics should be part of a broader treatment plan.
Do I have to change all my shoes to wear custom orthotics?
Not necessarily, but some styles work better than others. We usually recommend supportive shoes with removable insoles, so there is room for your orthotics without crowding your toes. During your visit, we can review your current footwear, suggest brands or features to look for, and help you balance comfort, style, and support.
