What are 3D orthotics?

Orthotics are inserts that go inside your shoes to cushion and support your feet. The orthotics available from the local pharmacy may be enough for a mild foot problem but they can’t deliver the same benefits as professionally designed 3D printed prescription orthotics.

At Mill Creek Foot & Ankle Clinic, Dr. Hall uses advanced 3D scanning technology to capture the precise dimensions of your feet. Using your personal images and a personalized prescription for each foot, the team creates orthotics that perfectly match your foot shape and target your unique foot problem.

What therapeutic benefits do 3D printed orthotics provide?

Customized prescription orthotics improve foot function and movement, help correct the underlying problem, and relieve discomfort so you can stay active.

You may need orthotics to:

• Alleviate pain
• Absorb shock
• Correct foot imbalances
• Relieve pressure points
• Eliminate stress
• Provide stability
• Improve gait
• Control foot and ankle movement
• Align the foot and ankle
• Correct foot deformities

Orthotics can also improve athletic performance and help prevent overuse injuries.

What conditions may improve with 3D printed prescription orthotics?

Orthotics are made from rigid plastics, soft padding, or both. Rigid materials improve function, correct movement, and help treat injuries by limiting movement. Soft materials add cushioning and relieve pressure on sores and deformities like bunions.

Combining the different materials, Dr. Hall creates orthotics to treat various foot problems, including:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Hammertoes
• Bunions
• Tendonitis
• Diabetic foot ulcers
• Sprained ankles
• Heel pain
• Bursitis
• Calluses
• Flat feet
• Arthritis
• Knee pain
• Back pain

Foot and ankle pain affects how you move as you try to avoid using the foot that hurts. This alters the alignment between your foot, ankle, and legs, a problem that Mill Creek Foot & Ankle Clinic can solve with orthotics.

How do I get custom 3D orthotics?

The process begins with a comprehensive foot exam and a computerized gait analysis to show how you move and identify your specific issues. Then, the team uses 3D scanning to obtain detailed images showing the precise contours of your feet. 

Based on your diagnosis and gait analysis, they design the orthotics to treat your foot problem. Your custom 3D printed prescription orthotics are manufactured using your foot scan and the prescription written by Dr. Hall. When the orthotics are ready, the team checks how they fit and makes adjustments if needed.
