Computerized Orthotic Scanning Keeping Your Feet Happy & Healthy

Computerized Orthotic Scanning 

Relieve Foot Pain with Custom Orthotics 

Orthotics are customized foot supports that are designed to reduce pain in the feet and ankles as people go about their normal lives. There are two options for orthotics, over-the-counter brands that are designed for more general use, and prescription orthotics that are specifically designed for the individual patient. Our podiatrists typically recommend custom orthotics if the over-the-counter products do not produce the desired results.  

If you need customized orthotics, call (805) 380-3152 to schedule a consultation at Performance Foot and Ankle in Thousand Oaks. You can also contact us online to learn more about our custom orthotic solutions.

Conditions Alleviated by Custom Orthotics

Orthotics can help relieve pain or prevent conditions such as:

  • Bursitis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Tendinitis
  • Diabetic foot ulcers
  • Heel pain
  • Foot and ankle pain

At Performance Foot and Ankle, we use cutting-edge computer technology to create customized orthotics for our patients. In computerized orthotic scanning, the foot is scanned with a laser that sends anatomical information to the computer. During this scan, the foot will be arranged in the position it needs to be in to reduce pain. A model cast is then created that is designed to hold the foot in this position. The orthotic is created based on this cast and should help patients reduce foot pain while they go about their normal activities.

Adapting to Life With Custom Orthotics

Orthotics have proven to be a highly effective treatment for chronic foot pains. Orthotics should be worn on a daily basis anytime you need to be on your feet for an extended period of time. When using custom orthotics, most patients can adjust to the feeling fairly quickly. However, if you are having trouble wearing yours then you should limit wear to just a few hours a day, gradually increasing the length of time as you get used to them. If you experience continued discomfort without any signs of improvement, contact your podiatrist.

Custom orthotics typically last for about five years. However, this depends on how much you use them and what activities you use them for. An athlete who uses orthotics for training will likely wear theirs out faster than a patient who uses them for long commutes on the subway.

We can create custom orthotics for your tennis shoes, sandals, and even high heels. Call the office at (805) 380-3152 or contact us online to learn more and see if your insurance plan covers your pair of custom insoles.

Hear from Our Happy Patients
  • "I highly recommend this place!"
    The process was smooth and efficient from the start. After filling out "contact us" form on their website, I received a call within 30 minutes to set up my appointment. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming. When I arrived, I handed them the printed form, and I was seen almost immediately. Dr. Patel was fantastic—he took the time to listen to all my concerns, identified the cause of my issue, and provided a clear solution. He even showed me at-home remedies and offered tips on how to prevent the problem in the future, without making me feel pressured to buy any treatment products. He went above and beyond in his care. Overall, a great experience!

  • "I highly recommend!"
    Dr. Patel and his staff were absolutely incredible! I was having issues with my foot for about 5 years and I had been to numerous doctors without success. Then I met Dr. Patel and I’m happy to report that my issue is now solved! So thankful and could not be happier. Everyone here is super nice, down to earth and they genuinely care about you, the patient, which was super important to me. I was very impressed with how they go about their business and I highly recommend!

  • "Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable."
    Dr. Gifford and her team are amazing and I recommend Dr. Gifford without hesitation. She provided me with multiple options to address Achilles issues. I ultimately needed surgery and the results have allowed me to walk without pain and return to activities I had been missing. My incision site is imperceptible. Dr Gifford and her team are communicative, caring and highly capable.

  • "This is what medical care should be!"
    Excellent customer service, and thorough care. Dr. Patel was down-to-earth, knowledgeable, and skilled (my kind of doc). The office was clean, and well-run. Billing was smooth as well without any of the hiccups you get at other offices. This is what medical care should be!
    - Ashutosh S.
  • "Can't thank her enough"
    Dr. Gifford was very knowledgeable with explaining the cause of my heel pain and gave me a painless injection. She was very friendly and took her time with answering all my questions. Can't thank her enough because I'm back to my normal workout routine without any pain!

  • "They do excellent work and care about their patients."
    Going to performance foot and ankle. It's like going to your salon or Barber. Once you find a good stylus, you won't leave them. Doctor Patel and his staff are like that. My dad has been going to them for years he's 102 years old. They do excellent work and care about their patients.
