Healing Arts Physical Therapy – Yuba City, CA
Do your feet ache after standing all day? Are your knees, hips, or lower back constantly sore—even when you're not injured? You might be surprised to learn that these issues can start at the ground level: your feet.
At Healing Arts Physical Therapy, we offer custom foot orthotics designed to support your feet, correct alignment, and relieve pain throughout your body. But what are orthotics, and who really needs them?
🔍 What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts that are specifically designed to match the unique shape, structure, and biomechanics of your feet. Unlike generic store-bought insoles, our orthotics are:
Created from digital scans or foam impressions
Designed and adjusted by licensed physical therapists
Built with high-quality materials to last years—not months
⚠️ Signs You May Need Orthotics
If you experience any of the following, custom orthotics could make a major difference:
Plantar fasciitis or heel pain
Flat feet or collapsed arches
High arches causing instability
Knee, hip, or low back pain without a clear injury
Frequent foot fatigue or shin splints
Uneven shoe wear or poor posture
Foot and ankle misalignment can ripple up through your entire body. Orthotics can realign your foundation and reduce strain.
🛠️ What to Expect at Your Appointment
At Healing Arts PT, we don’t just hand you insoles—we build a care plan that starts with a full biomechanical evaluation. Your visit includes:
Gait and posture analysis
Foot measurements, strength, and alignment tests
Casting or digital scanning of your feet
Fabrication of your custom inserts
Fitting and follow-up to ensure comfort and performance
Orthotics are typically ready within 1–2 weeks and last 2–4 years depending on use.
💵 Cost & Insurance
Our orthotics range from $250–$300 and include evaluation, fabrication, and follow-up fitting.
