Your feet carry you through every step of your day. When they don’t line up well, the rest of your body pays for it: your knees, your hips and even your lower back. If you’ve tried new shoes or drugstore insoles and still hurt, custom orthotics in Reston, VA may be the missing piece. At Reston Healing Center, Dr. Jason R. Brown, D.C. fits Foot Levelers orthotics made for your feet, as part of a plan that treats the whole problem.

Signs you need custom orthotics

Orthotics aren’t only for foot pain. Pain often shows up far from where it starts, and the feet are a common starting point. It may be time to look at your feet if you have:

Foot or heel pain, especially first thing in the morning or after standing
Knee, hip or lower back pain that gets worse when you walk or run
Shoes that wear down faster on one side
Pain from long days in shoes with little to no support
Aches that keep coming back after running, hiking or sports

Putting it off usually means your body keeps working around the problem. Over time, other joints and muscles start to pick up the slack, and that can lead to new aches somewhere else.

Our custom orthotics options

Custom foot orthotics are designed to align the foot and ankle into the most efficient position. They look a lot like insoles, but they’re made to correct your specific foot imbalance. The plastic body of the orthotic helps re-align your foot while you walk.

We use Foot Levelers orthotics, and they’re made just for you. Like our care plans and treatment sessions, they’re customized to your body. Dr. Jason fits them to the shoes you actually wear, whether that’s running shoes, work shoes or everyday sneakers.

Orthotics work best as part of a bigger plan. If your pain started with a sport or a workout, Dr. Jason may pair them with sports chiropractic, including extremity adjusting for the feet, ankles and knees. If your back or hips are also hurting, they fit right alongside regular chiropractic care, so your feet, knees, hips and spine are all treated together.

Custom orthotics for Reston feet

Reston is a town on its feet. Reston Association maintains about 55 miles of footpaths, and the 45-mile W&OD Trail has an access point in town. Runners, walkers and cyclists put a lot of miles on their feet here.

Plenty of our patients aren’t athletes at all. They stand at work, walk the dog every morning or chase kids around all weekend. Whether you log miles on the trail or on a hard office floor, your feet set up how the rest of your body moves.

What to expect

It starts with a free 10–15 minute consult with Dr. Jason. Tell him where it hurts and what you’ve tried. If you want to go ahead, you get a clear price before anything happens.

At your visit, Dr. Jason looks at how you stand and move, and checks your feet, ankles, knees, hips and back. If orthotics make sense for you, he’ll explain why and order a pair made for your feet. When they’re ready, he fits them to your shoes. If your pain needs more than orthotics, he’ll build that into your plan too.

Cost depends on your plan and your insurance. We work with some insurance plans and are out of network with most, and we’re familiar with FSA and HSA accounts. See payment options for details.

Why choose Reston Healing Center

We don’t sell orthotics off a rack. Dr. Jason is a sports chiropractor who treats a lot of feet, ankles and knees, so he looks at how your whole body moves, not just your arch. Our patients have given us a 4.9-star rating across 52 Google reviews.

He’s also the most conservative person you’re likely to see for foot pain. The goal is to help without surgery. If he can’t help you, he’ll get you to someone who can.

Common questions about custom orthotics

Are custom orthotics better than store insoles? Store insoles are built for an average foot. Custom Foot Levelers orthotics are made to correct your specific foot imbalance, so they’re built for your feet, not everyone’s.

Will they fit my shoes? Dr. Jason fits them to the shoes you actually wear, from running shoes to everyday sneakers. Bring up your shoes at your visit so he can plan around them.

Do I still need chiropractic care? It depends on what’s causing your pain. Sometimes orthotics are enough. Often they work best alongside adjustments and exercises for the knees, hips and back above them.

Can I use my FSA or HSA? We’re familiar with FSA and HSA accounts, and we’ll give you a clear price before anything is ordered.

Orthotics also come up a lot with our athletes. If you run, hike or play a sport, tell Dr. Jason how many miles or hours you put in each week, so your plan fits how you actually use your feet.
