Custom Foot Orthoses in New Mexico

What Are Foot Orthotics?

Foot orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to support and align the foot and ankle while correcting biomechanical issues. Unlike generic insoles found in retail stores, custom orthotics are precisely crafted to fit your unique foot anatomy. They work by redistributing pressure, supporting arches, cushioning impact, and improving the foot’s overall function.

At PrimeCare, we create orthotics that address your specific needs, whether you're suffering from chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking preventative care. Our hands-on approach ensures you’ll get the ideal solution to help improve your quality of life.

How Do Foot Orthotics Work?

How Do Foot Orthotics Work?

Foot orthoses work through several biomechanical principles to improve foot function and relieve pain:

Structural Support

Orthotics provide essential support to your foot's natural arch system. They maintain proper arch position and help distribute body weight evenly across the foot surface, reducing excessive pressure on sensitive areas.

Motion Control

For patients with abnormal foot motion, orthotics can guide the foot through a more efficient gait cycle. This controlled movement reduces strain on tendons, ligaments, and joints to prevent overuse injuries and chronic pain conditions.

Shock Absorption

Every step creates impact forces that travel through the feet and up the lower extremities. Quality orthotics use cushioning materials that absorb these forces, reducing stress on feet, ankles, knees, and hips.

Pressure Distribution

Custom orthotics contour precisely to your foot's unique shape to redistribute pressure away from painful areas. This targeted pressure relief especially benefits patients with calluses, bunions, or diabetic foot concerns.

Types of Foot Orthotics We Provide

Our fleet of orthotic solutions is as diverse as the patients we serve. Different foot structures and conditions require specialized orthotic designs to provide optimal support and relief.

High Arch Orthotics

High Arch Orthotics

For patients with cavus foot (high arches), we design orthotics with enhanced cushioning and shock absorption. These orthotics distribute pressure evenly across the foot to reduce strain on the ball and heel areas that typically bear excessive weight.

Flat Feet Orthotics

Those with fallen arches or flat feet benefit from orthotics with substantial arch support. These devices help realign the foot, reduce overpronation, and provide stability that prevents fatigue and pain while standing or walking.

Heel Orthotics

Heel Orthotics

Specialized heel cups and pads provide relief for patients suffering from heel pain, plantar fasciitis, or age-related thinning of the heel's natural fat pads. These orthotics offer targeted cushioning and support to reduce impact forces.

Orthotics for Supination

When the feet roll outward excessively (supination), our custom orthotics provide lateral support and stability. These devices redistribute weight evenly across the foot to prevent ankle instability and reduce stress on the outer foot structures.

Sport-Specific Orthotics

Sport-Specific Orthotics

Athletes need specialized orthotics designed for their specific activities. We create sport-specific devices that account for movement patterns, shoe types, and the unique stresses placed on feet during different sports.

Conditions That Custom Foot Orthotics Treat

Foot orthotics provide targeted support for a variety of foot and lower limb conditions:

  • Plantar Fasciitis: This painful inflammation of the plantar fascia — the band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes — often causes intense heel pain, especially in the morning during the first steps. Our custom orthotics provide targeted arch support and heel cushioning, reducing tension on the plantar fascia and allowing it to heal while providing immediate pain relief.
  • Flat Feet (Fallen Arches): When feet have minimal or absent arches, they can cause pain, fatigue, and alignment issues throughout the lower body. Our flat feet orthotics restore arch function, preventing overpronation and distributing weight more effectively across the foot surface, reducing strain on ankles, knees, and hips.
  • Bunions: These painful bony prominences at the base of the big toe can make it uncomfortable to wear shoes. Our accommodative orthotics redistribute pressure away from the bunion area while providing stability to prevent further progression, making walking and wearing shoes significantly more comfortable.
Conditions That Custom Foot Orthotics Treat
  • Metatarsalgia: Pain in the ball of the foot (metatarsalgia) can make every step agonizing. Our custom orthotics incorporate metatarsal pads and specialized cushioning to offload pressure from painful areas while supporting the entire foot structure to result in pain-free movement.
  • Diabetic Foot Concerns: Patients with diabetes require specialized foot care to prevent serious complications. Our diabetic foot orthotics feature pressure-relieving designs and cushioning materials that minimize friction and shear forces, reducing the risk of ulceration while improving comfort and mobility.
  • Arthritic Conditions: Foot and ankle arthritis can severely limit mobility and the overall quality of life. Our orthotics for arthritic feet incorporate shock-absorbing materials and strategic support to reduce joint stress, minimize painful motion, and provide stability that allows for continued activity with reduced discomfort.
  • Sports Injuries: Athletes place tremendous demands on their feet. Whether you're dealing with stress fractures, tendonitis, or chronic overuse injuries, our sport-specific orthotics address your unique biomechanical needs while factoring in your athletic footwear and performance requirements.
  • Heel Spurs: These bony growths on the underside of the heel bone can cause significant pain. Our heel spur orthotics incorporate precise heel cups with cutouts or cushioning zones that protect the sensitive area while supporting surrounding structures for improved function and reduced pain.

Our Fabrication Process

At PrimeCare Orthotics & Prosthetics, we follow a meticulous process to create your personalized foot orthotics. Here’s what you can expect along the way.
Our Process
  • Comprehensive Assessment

    We start with a thorough examination of your foot structure, gait pattern, and footwear. This includes analyzing pressure distribution, range of motion, and identifying specific pain points. We then use advanced scanning technology to create a model of your feet that captures every contour and arch position with millimeter accuracy.

  • Custom Design

    Our specialists design your orthotics using the digital model, incorporating specific features to address your unique needs, from arch height to cushioning zones.

  • Material Selection

    We select premium materials based on your activity level, foot condition, and lifestyle needs — whether you need rigid support, flexible cushioning, or a combination approach.

  • Precision Manufacturing

    We fabricate your custom orthotics using computer-guided machinery that ensures exact specifications are met for a perfect fit.

  • Fitting and Adjustment

    Upon completion, we conduct a thorough fitting session to ensure your orthotic is comfortable and functional, making any necessary refinements before you leave.

  • Follow-Up Care

    We schedule follow-up appointments to evaluate how your orthotics are performing and make any necessary adjustments as your feet adapt to the new support.
