What Are OIFC Smartcast Custom Orthotics?
OIFC custom orthotics are specially made devices designed to support and comfort your feet. These orthotics have a sleek and low-profile design. They are worn in your shoes and are not visible to others. You don’t need to buy larger shoes or new shoes.
Northwest Podiatric Laboratory manufactures OIFC custom orthotics. They are a premier orthotic manufacturer and use only the highest quality materials. Dr. Manson is certified with their SmartCast system. This latest technology allows Dr. Manson to cast your feet for custom orthotics without using the old plaster method.
Dr. Manson uses a 3D scanner attached to an iPad to take 3D scans and photos of your feet. This method is quick, more accurate, and much less messy, with no clean-up required. It also allows OIFC to have a faster turnaround time in getting your orthotics to you because the scans and prescriptions are sent electronically in seconds. It takes days off the turnaround time compared to the traditional method.
The Role of SmartCast Technology in Custom Orthotics
SmartCast technology revolutionizes custom orthotics. Unlike traditional methods, SmartCast uses advanced imaging to capture the unique structure of your feet, ensuring a perfect fit every time. This level of precision translates to better alignment, reduced pain, and improved mobility.
What Do Orthotics Treat?
Dr. Manson uses orthotics to treat foot problems such as heel pain, arch pain, tendonitis, bunions, hammertoes, and many other causes of foot and ankle pain. Clinical research studies have shown that podiatrist-prescribed foot orthotics decrease foot pain and improve function.
During activity, the arch of your foot goes up and down to absorb shock. However, due to genetics and wear and tear, the arch begins to collapse as we age, which can cause pain and disability.

Prescription orthotics are also made of top-notch materials and last many years or even decades when cared for properly.
