A custom orthotic only works if the shoe can hold it: a device built for a running shoe will not sit correctly in a dress flat, and forcing it changes the correction. We build to the shoes you actually wear. Birmingham patients are seen at 43494 Woodward Ave #208. Book online, or call (810) 206-1402.

Custom 3D Orthotics for Birmingham MI Patients: Clinical Benefits and Fitting Process
Custom 3D orthotics represent the most precise biomechanical correction available for Birmingham and Bloomfield Township area patients with structural foot conditions. Unlike traditional plaster casting or foam box impressions, 3D digital scanning captures the foot’s three-dimensional contour with sub-millimeter accuracy — producing an orthotic shell that matches each patient’s unique arch geometry, heel width, and forefoot alignment. For Birmingham professionals and active patients who spend long hours in dress shoes, dress boots, or athletic footwear, the precision fit of a custom 3D orthotic translates directly into symptom relief: the device contacts the arch where it needs support rather than approximating it from population-average molds.
The conditions that respond best to custom 3D orthotics include plantar fasciitis (where arch support reduces tension at the fascial origin), posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (where medial posting prevents progressive flatfoot collapse), metatarsalgia (where forefoot offloading redistributes pressure across the metatarsal heads), and hallux valgus (where orthotic control slows the progression driven by hyperpronation). The fabrication turnaround for Balance Foot & Ankle custom 3D orthotics is typically 2–3 weeks from casting, with a follow-up fitting appointment to verify fit and make any necessary adjustments included in the fee. Insurance coverage for custom orthotics varies by plan; our Birmingham-area office staff verifies benefits prior to fabrication and can provide a cost estimate. Most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Priority Health cover custom orthotics with a diagnosis code supporting medical necessity. Birmingham patients can schedule a custom orthotic consultation at our Bloomfield Township location on Woodward Ave, accessible via M-1 north of downtown Birmingham, with online booking 24/7 typically available.
