The Many Conditions That Benefit From Orthotics
Orthotics aren’t only used to fix or address a particular condition. When you support the arches of your feet, you’re helping your body’s overall biomechanics. Think of how unnatural it is to walk on flat surfaces all day, wearing shoes that restrict your feet from moving as they should. In these situations, the bones in each foot can’t be mobile as they used to be thousands of years ago. On flat surfaces, the forces from the ground go into your feet, which aren’t meant to absorb them. That’s when problems typically occur. Some of the most common foot-related issues include
- Bunions
- Collapsed arches
- Hip issues
- Knee issues
- Neuroma
- Patellofemoral pain syndrome
- Pelvic issues
- Plantar fasciitis
- Shin splints
Dynamic Foot Scanning
Our advanced technology includes a footpad scanner from The Orthotic Group. It gives a dynamic reading of the biomechanics of your feet. You’ll stand on it, then walk and cross the pad to provide a visual readout of the forces placed upon your feet. You’ll be able to see the results of your scan and have them explained to you in terms you can understand. No messy molds or impressions are necessary!
Special Pricing for Multiple Pairs
One pair of orthotics costs $450. If you purchase two pairs, $675. Some plans cover a partial amount or all of the orthotics. You’ll be given a receipt and all paperwork you need to claim your reimbursement.
Fixing Squeaky Orthotics
Simple Solutions for a Quieter, More Comfortable Step
If your custom orthotics are squeaking, you’re not alone. It’s a common—and fixable—issue. At Capital Chiropractic, we want your orthotics to support your health comfortably and quietly.
Here are several proven ways to eliminate orthotic squeaks:
How: Lightly sprinkle powder between the orthotic and the shoe bed or insole.
Why: Reduces friction, which is a common cause of squeaking.
Tip: A small amount is enough—avoid overapplying.
Options: WD-40 on a cloth, silicone spray, or a small amount of petroleum jelly.
How: Apply carefully to the bottom of the orthotic using a cloth or cotton swab.
Important: Do not spray directly into the shoe to avoid damage.
Stick to the underside of the orthotic or to the inside of the shoe where contact occurs.
Creates a soft barrier to reduce friction and noise.
How: Place a single layer of paper towel between the orthotic and the shoe bed.
Why: Acts as a temporary buffer to absorb movement and reduce squeaking.
Tip: This is a quick, low-cost option that can be replaced as needed.
Loose-fitting orthotics may shift and squeak.
Choose shoes with removable insoles and insert your orthotics directly.
If needed, secure them with double-sided tape or Velcro strips.
Old shoes with compressed soles may not grip orthotics properly, increasing movement and noise.
A newer, better-fitting shoe can often resolve the issue.
