Custom Orthotics in Reynoldsburg OH
Custom orthotics from Oyler Chiropractic correct the biomechanical imbalances at your body’s foundation supporting better posture, reducing foot pain, and improving how your entire kinetic chain moves.
What Custom Orthotics Do for Reynoldsburg Patients
The feet are your body’s foundation. When they don’t function correctly, force distributes unevenly up through the ankles, knees, hips, and spine showing up as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip dysfunction, or recurring back pain. Drugstore insoles address comfort. Custom orthotics address mechanics. Fabricated from a precise scan of your foot, they correct your specific imbalance rather than offering a generic shape removing a biomechanical driver that adjusting and soft tissue work alone can’t fully overcome.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Orthotics
What's the difference between custom orthotics and store-bought insoles?
Store-bought insoles offer cushioning and a generic arch. Custom orthotics are fabricated from a precise scan to correct your specific biomechanical pattern. For conditions driven by foot mechanics, the clinical difference is significant.
Will I need to wear orthotics forever?
It depends on the underlying condition. Structural issues like flat feet often require ongoing support. For conditions where foot mechanics contributed to a resolved problem, some patients transition out of orthotics as gait and alignment improve.
Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Some plans cover orthotics when prescribed for a specific condition. Call the office and the team can clarify your coverage before you commit.
How long does it take to get used to them?
Most patients adapt within two to four weeks. Dr. Oyler provides a break-in schedule at your fitting to help your feet and lower limbs adjust gradually.
Can I use orthotics in all my shoes?
Orthotics are designed for the footwear you use most. If you need them across multiple shoe types, Dr. Oyler can advise on the best approach at your consultation.
