If you’re struggling with foot, ankle, knee, hip, back, shoulder, neck, or TMJ pain, your feet could be a major contributing factor. For many people, custom orthotics may be the necessary solution. At Orinda Chiropractic and Laser, Dr. Kevin Wong has specialized in providing Foot Levelers custom orthotics for almost 30 years. These orthotics address your unique biomechanical needs from your toes to your nose.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts tailored to support and correct the alignment of your 26 foot bones and the 3 functional arches. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, Foot Levelers custom orthotics are crafted to fit your unique foot structure, ensuring optimal comfort, balance, and support of all 3 arches, not just the instep.
These orthotics can address a range of conditions, including:
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Flat Feet or High Arches
- Heel Spurs
- Ankle, Knee, Hip, or Back Pain
- Sports Injuries
- Postural Imbalances
- Chronic Foot Pain: Plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general discomfort.
- Sports Injuries: Support and alignment for active lifestyles.
- Arthritis: Reduce pressure on joints and improve mobility.
- Lower Back Pain: Alleviate pain caused by poor foot alignment.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics?
Your feet are supported by the 3 arches which are the foundation of your body. Misalignment and flat arches under your feet can lead to pain and discomfort throughout your musculoskeletal system.
Custom orthotics provide:
- Enhanced Comfort: Properly supporting all 3 arches of your feet reduces pain and discomfort.
- Improved Posture: Correct foot alignment positively impacts your overall posture.
- Injury Prevention: Minimize stress on your joints and reduce the risk of injuries.
- Long-Term Relief: Address the root causes of pain, rather than masking symptoms.

- How do Foot Levelers custom-made functional orthotics work?
Feet are the foundation of the body-foot imbalance or dysfunction can have ripple effects, transferring imbalance (and pain) to the ankles, legs, knees, hips, spine, shoulders, and even the skull.
Foot Levelers orthotics are custom-built to balance and support your unique feet and body, and to suit the demands of your lifestyle and activities. By balancing and supporting the feet, they help balance and support the spine, which can help relieve pain and improve your body’s overall biomechanics.
Foot Levelers custom orthotics are a research-proven solution for plantar fasciitis, low back pain, ankle sprains/ankle instability, knee pain, and many other musculoskeletal conditions.
- What are Foot Levelers custom-made functional orthotics made of?
Foot Levelers uses premium materials that are built to last. Depending on the orthotic model you select, your orthotics may include Lambson® leather (Luxury line), materials for improved water wicking to reduce odor and increase comfort (InMotion®, the #1 selling orthotic), shock-absorbing Technology, and XRD® Impact Protection (XP3® and XP3+® for extreme athletes), and more. Only Foot Levelers orthotics feature 3 Arch Advantage™ to support all three arches of the foot, not just one. Browse our custom orthotics and learn more about different models here.
- What are the best orthotics for flat feet?
Because our orthotics are custom-built by a team of highly trained technicians just for you, any model of Foot Levelers orthotics can help address your flat feet. Your doctor can help you choose the right Foot Levelers model based on your unique activities, lifestyle, health challenges, and wellness goals. Only Foot Levelers’ custom orthotics are backed by 65 years of experience and solid, peer-reviewed research, not to mention a 100% money-back guarantee.
Remember: custom counts. Only Foot Levelers custom orthotics are built just for your unique feet, body, and lifestyle. Feet are like fingerprints; no two sets are alike. For powerful, lasting results, your orthotics should be as unique as you are.
- Why should I be using custom orthotics?
Orthotics offer quality-of-life improvement for anyone, young, old, athletic, or otherwise. They can help improve pain, posture, balance, and physical performance in all aspects of life. They help prevent or treat low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, and neck pain, and are one of the best ways to deal with foot conditions such as bunions, heel spurs, and plantar fasciitis.
- Why shouldn't I use over-the-counter orthotics?
Over-the-counter orthotics offer initial comfort and visual appeal-super soft, fancy blue gel, etc.-but they are not necessarily beneficial or lasting. When it comes to your health, we believe that nothing short of custom-made will do. Foot Levelers crafts custom-made orthotics based on scans made by a high-tech 3D scanner with pinpoint accuracy to protect you, not the masses, using materials especially selected to suit your needs.
- What process is used to capture information about my feet?
Foot Levelers’ experienced technicians craft your orthotics based on foam impressions or 3D images. These images are produced using the 3D BodyView+® imaging device, which uses the laser triangulation technique, one of the most accurate measurement techniques available. This helps ensure your orthotics fit perfectly to your feet.
- Why are there different top materials and types of orthotics?
Premium, intense, and moderate types of orthotics are designed to provide an optimal amount of support for a particular activity, so wearing one type for multiple occasions can compromise their intended support and structural integrity. For instance, wearing a luxury top in your running shoes will not only wear down the material rapidly, since it wasn’t designed for that kind of activity, but it will also slip more easily because it is crafted using leather. That's why we recommend multiple pairs for your multiple shoes and activities.
Different types of shoes need different orthotics. We usually suggest patients begin with an orthotic that fits the shoe they wear most often, people often need a pair for casual shoes and one pair for dressier shoes. Casual or athletic shoes take a full length pair of orthotics, while dress shoes use a ¾ length or dress orthotic so the toes have room to move around inside the tighter shoe. Dr. Kevin and his staff can explain more.
- Why is the 45-day break-in period important?
It can take some time for a new pair of custom orthotics to conform to your feet and for your body to adjust to proper, healthy support. If you haven’t worn orthotics in the past, your feet need to adapt to the unique corrections to maintain the integrity of your plantar vault-the three arches in your feet that help keep your body in balance. If you don’t give it 45 days and follow the 45-day break-in procedures, you may not be able to experience the full benefits of using orthotics.
- How often should I get a new pair of functional orthotics?
Orthotics are guaranteed for an entire year, but are built to last for two to four. Foot Levelers recommends a new pair every two years, but more active patients may require replacements more frequently.
- How do I choose the proper functional orthotic?
Consult Dr. Kevin and his staff and let them know what kind of activities you will be engaged in while wearing them. They will help determine what’s best for you, whether it’s the popular InMotion orthotic to suit your on-the-go lifestyle, or the pumped-up XP3® to fit inside your athletic shoes and get you in the game.
- Will one pair of functional orthotics fit all styles of shoes?
Our functional orthotics are custom-made to help maintain your doctor’s adjustments and keep you supported. Each type of orthotic can slip in and out of most shoes. Sometimes, shorter orthotics that are “dress length” will be needed for shoes that are tighter or more narrow around the toe box. You need optimum support for all 3 arches, which any model of the Foot Levelers orthotics provides.
