Custom Orthotics in Brighton, MI

Custom orthotics are individually designed shoe inserts prescribed and fitted by Dr. Castelein at Brighton Foot & Ankle. Unlike the generic insoles you find at a pharmacy, custom orthotics are molded specifically to the contours of your feet and built to address your exact condition. Whether you're dealing with plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, arthritis, or chronic foot pain, custom orthotics can make a significant difference in how you feel on your feet every day. If you're searching for custom orthotics near you in the Brighton, MI area, Brighton Foot & Ankle is your local provider.

Custom orthotics from Brighton Foot & Ankle are designed to:

  • Correct abnormal foot mechanics and joint motion
  • Relieve pressure on painful areas of the foot
  • Reduce pain from plantar fasciitis, bunions, flat feet, and arthritis
  • Prevent foot ulcers in diabetic patients
  • Improve alignment in the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back
  • Support injury recovery and prevent future injuries

While over the counter insoles can provide some relief, they are not built to address your specific foot structure or condition. Patients with significant foot deformities, diabetic neuropathy, or conditions that require a rigid device with an extended lifespan are better served with a custom device. Dr. Castelein evaluates each patient individually and will recommend a custom orthotic only when it is clinically warranted.

The Custom Orthotic Process

Getting custom orthotics at Brighton Foot & Ankle is a straightforward process. Dr. Castelein begins by evaluating your feet, gait, and the condition being treated. He then casts your feet in a fiberglass mold while placing your foot in its neutral position to best capture the contours of your feet. The casts are sent to an independent orthotic lab where they are manufactured to accommodate your exact foot structure. Once we receive the orthotics they are professionally fitted by our trained medical assistants. Dr. Castelein follows up with you three weeks later to make any adjustments needed.

Built for Your Life — Not Just Your Shoes

Custom orthotics can be fitted for virtually any footwear, including:

  • Everyday walking shoes
  • Dress shoes
  • Ice Skates
  • Ski Boots
  • Cleats for Soccer, Football and Baseball
  • Shoes for Volleyball, Basketball and Pickleball

We can also send in any shoe, boot, or skate directly to ensure a perfect fit with your custom orthotic.

Dr. Castelein is great; he is very nice, patient, and professional. His staff is also excellent and friendly. It's only been about three hours since having my big toenail removed and, with acetaminophen and ibuprofen, there is very little pain(sometimes I completely forget about it); he did an excellent job. Overall, I am very impressed with Dr. Casteleins Practice and I would highly recommend his office.

Excellent staff and exceptional doctor. I went in with Bunion issues. Dr. Castelein listened to my concerns and addressed my options. 4 days post-op bunion surgery I can say he did an amazing job. Best experience I have ever had. I would definitely recommend; I promise you won't look further.

The staff and Dr. Castelein are all amazing. They are polite and very respectful. I came to see them in 2019 for bunion and hammer toe issues among some others. Dr. Castelein and his assistant listened to my concerns and gave me my options. He explained everything to me in detail and all my questions were answered.. I have seen other podiatrists and he is beyond the best. I would recommend him to anyone.

Friendly staff and intelligent doctor! I went in for some ankle X-rays and was given a great strategy on the different ways to heal my ankle, and how to progress forward if less invasive treatment doesn't help. I would highly recommend them to anyone with foot or ankle problems!
