Custom Orthotics in Larchmont
Think of your body as a skyscraper—it all starts with a solid foundation. Your feet are that foundation, and when they aren’t properly aligned, everything above them can feel the effects. From your ankles and knees to your hips and spine, the way your feet contact the ground influences how your entire body moves and feels.
At The Family Chiropractic Office, we know healthy feet support a healthy body. That’s why Dr. Henry Cohen offers custom orthotics designed for your unique structure and lifestyle. Whether you’re dealing with recurring discomfort, uneven shoe wear, or want better balance and less strain, custom orthotics can be a powerful piece of your wellness plan.
The Foundation of Total Body Alignment
Your feet contain six of the ten arches in your body. These arches distribute body weight and reduce stress on your joints and spine. When arches collapse, are too high, or shift out of alignment, the entire chain of movement is affected.
During your initial exam, our chiropractor evaluates your feet and posture, looking for signs like dropped or high arches and inward-rolling kneecaps. If needed, he’ll recommend a quick, non-invasive foot scan. This advanced scan captures hundreds of precise measurements to map your feet, giving us the detail needed to create orthotics that truly fit you.
Personalized Support That Makes a Real Difference
While it may be tempting to purchase store-bought inserts, those just offer generalized support. Custom orthotics from The Family Chiropractic Office are built from approximately 400 individual measurements and tailored to your activity level and footwear, whether you’re a runner, tennis player, or constantly on the go. A running orthotic is built to absorb repetitive impact; a tennis orthotic supports rapid starts, stops, and lateral moves.
What to Expect
Once your feet are scanned, your custom orthotics are typically ready within about seven days. There’s a one-week break-in period as your body adapts to subtle biomechanical changes. Designed for daily wear, they usually last about three years. Many patients notice improvements in how they walk, stand, and move, with less strain in their knees, hips, and lower back.
