Custom Made Orthotic NYC

Our Orthotic Services

At U.S. Orthotic Center, custom orthotics are designed and fabricated under the direction of Jeffrey S. Rich, Board-Certified Pedorthist, inventor, educator, and nationally recognized expert in foot biomechanics with more than 47 years of clinical experience.

Jeffrey has dedicated his career to helping patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and optimize foot function through advanced orthotic therapy, gait analysis, and biomechanical intervention. He currently serves as President of the Pedorthic Footcare Association (PFA), the nation’s leading organization representing board-certified pedorthists and prescription footwear professionals

A Revolutionary Approach to Custom Orthotics

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Jeffrey spent more than three years researching, redesigning, and refining the orthotic fabrication process. Through extensive software development, clinical testing, and technical innovation, he developed a proprietary semi-weight-bearing suspension scanning system designed to capture the foot in a more functional position than traditional casting methods.

This breakthrough combines decades of orthotic expertise with advanced digital technologies, including:

• High-definition digital foot scanning

• Semi-weight-bearing suspension foot evaluation

• Computer-aided orthotic design (CAD)

• CNC precision milling

• Digital orthotic modification

• Advanced EVA and performance materials

• Emerging 3D printing technologies

The result is a highly customized orthotic device designed to improve comfort, function, alignment, and long-term durability.

Why Our Process Is Different

Many practitioners continue to rely on plaster casting or foam impression boxes as their primary method of capturing foot shape. While these techniques remain widely used, Jeffrey’s proprietary digital scanning and fabrication process allows for significantly greater precision, repeatability, and customization.

Patients benefit from:

• Enhanced biomechanical accuracy

• Improved arch contour and support

• Better pressure distribution

• Increased comfort

• Greater consistency between devices

• Faster digital record retention and reproduction

Arch Support Orthotics

People with high arches, low arches, or flat feet can all benefit greatly from the use of custom orthotics. Arch-support orthotics are specifically designed to complement your unique foot structure, promoting proper alignment, stability, and comfort throughout your daily activities.

Insole Orthotic

Insole orthotics are removable supports that slip easily into your shoes to provide added cushioning and shock absorption. These insoles are often made from materials such as gel, foam, or plastic, or a combination of several materials, to optimize comfort and durability. They help reduce fatigue and improve balance, making them ideal for everyday wear.

Heel liners Orthotic

Heel liners, also known as heel pads or heel cups, offer extra cushioning and support to the heel area. Our specially designed heel orthotics are particularly beneficial for patients experiencing heel pain due to age-related fat pad loss or other conditions. They help absorb impact, relieve pressure, and restore comfort while walking or standing

Foot Cushion Orthotics

When shoes rub against your heels or toes, our U.S. Orthotic Center foot cushions act as a soft protective barrier to reduce friction and discomfort.
Did you know that the average person walks nearly 75,000 miles by the age of fifty? Maintaining foot health is essential to staying active and pain-free.
High-quality, custom-made orthotics and insoles, combined with regular foot care, can help prevent or relieve many common problems. With proper assessment and care, most foot and ankle issues—including back pain—can be alleviated or avoided altogether.

At the U.S. Orthotic Center, we provide comprehensive orthotic solutions designed to keep you moving comfortably. It’s your one-stop shop for custom-made orthotics in NYC.

Functional Orthotics

Functional orthotics are engineered to control abnormal foot motion, addressing pain and instability caused by biomechanical imbalances. They are often prescribed for conditions such as shin splints, tendinitis, or other overuse injuries.
Crafted from semi-rigid materials like plastic or graphite, these orthotics deliver both flexibility and control. Our models—made from a combination of polypropylene and EVA—are designed to absorb shock during movement while remaining firm and supportive when your foot is fully grounded. This dynamic design makes them particularly effective for athletes and active individuals.

Accommodative Orthotics

Accommodative orthotics are softer and designed to provide extra cushioning and pressure relief. They are commonly prescribed for conditions such as diabetic foot ulcers, painful calluses, and other sensitive foot disorders.
Podiatrists and pedorthists rely on these orthotics to manage problems like plantar fasciitis, bursitis, tendinitis, heel pain, and neuropathy.

Clinical studies consistently show that pedorthist-prescribed custom orthotics reduce pain, improve function, and enhance quality of life for patients of all ages.
