Custom Orthotics in Beverly Hills
Why Your Feet Matter More Than You Think
Your feet are the foundation of your entire body—and like any structure, when the foundation isn’t right, everything above it suffers.
At Champion Chiropractic, Dr. Aaron Schoneberger understands that foot problems don’t stay in your feet. Improper foot mechanics, whether from pronation (rolling inward), supination (rolling outward), or structural abnormalities, create a chain reaction that affects your ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, and spine. That chronic low back pain you’ve been dealing with might actually start with how your feet hit the ground with every step.
Custom orthotics are precision-crafted shoe inserts designed specifically for your unique foot structure and biomechanics. Unlike generic drugstore insoles that offer one-size-fits-all support, custom orthotics are created from a cast of your actual feet, ensuring perfect fit and targeted correction of your specific issues.
They work by redistributing pressure, correcting alignment, and supporting your feet in their optimal position—which in turn supports proper alignment throughout your entire body.
Who Benefits from Custom Orthotics
The honest answer? Far more people than you’d expect.
At Champion Chiropractic, we recommend custom orthotics for patients with pronation or supination issues affecting their gait, anyone with structural foot abnormalities or flat feet, people experiencing chronic foot, ankle, knee, hip, or low back pain, athletes seeking performance enhancement and injury prevention, individuals who stand or walk extensively for work, and patients with leg length discrepancies causing imbalance. Even if you don’t have obvious foot pain, improper foot mechanics could be contributing to problems elsewhere in your body.
Dr. Schoneberger conducts thorough biomechanical assessments to determine whether custom orthotics would benefit your specific situation. During your evaluation, he examines your feet, analyzes your gait and posture, and considers how your foot mechanics might be affecting your overall skeletal alignment. If orthotics are recommended, it’s because they can make a real difference in how your body functions and feels—not because we’re trying to sell you something you don’t need.
Think of custom orthotics as a corrective tool that works 24/7. Every step you take reinforces proper alignment rather than perpetuating the problems that cause pain and dysfunction. For many patients, orthotics become an essential part of their long-term wellness strategy, providing foundation support that allows chiropractic adjustments to hold longer and work more effectively.
The Custom Orthotic Process
Creating your custom orthotics begins with precision casting performed right here in our Beverly Hills office. Dr. Schoneberger takes detailed casts of your feet, capturing their exact shape, contours, and structural characteristics. These casts are then sent to a specialized orthotic laboratory where skilled technicians craft orthotics designed specifically for your feet and your condition. The entire process typically takes a couple of weeks from casting to receiving your finished orthotics.
When your custom orthotics arrive, you’ll return to Champion Chiropractic for a fitting appointment where Dr. Schoneberger ensures they fit perfectly and function as intended. He’ll test them carefully, observing how they affect your stance, gait, and alignment. You’ll receive detailed instructions on how to properly use your orthotics, including a break-in period that allows your body to gradually adjust to the corrected position. This guidance ensures you get maximum benefit from your orthotics while avoiding the discomfort that can come from changing your biomechanics too quickly.
The beauty of custom orthotics is that they’re adjustable. If the fit isn’t quite right or if something doesn’t feel correct, we’ll identify the issue and send your orthotics back to the laboratory for modifications. Adjustments are included in your service, ensuring your orthotics work exactly as they should. This isn’t trial-and-error—it’s precision correction backed by expertise and commitment to your results.
Beyond Pain Relief—Total Body Benefits
The benefits of properly fitted custom orthotics extend far beyond simply making your feet more comfortable. When your foundation is properly aligned and supported, your entire body functions better. Patients consistently report reduced pain not just in their feet but throughout their lower body and back, improved posture and balance, increased energy from more efficient movement, better athletic performance and reduced injury risk, and the ability to stand, walk, or exercise longer without discomfort.
For patients receiving chiropractic care at Champion Chiropractic, custom orthotics provide essential support that helps maintain spinal adjustments longer. When your feet are properly aligned with every step, your pelvis and spine remain in better position rather than being constantly pulled out of alignment by improper foot mechanics. This means you need fewer adjustments over time and enjoy longer-lasting results from the care you receive. It’s a perfect example of how comprehensive, integrated treatment produces superior outcomes.
