Custom Orthotics

Orthotics can help with multiple sites of pain. Our bodies  need proper alignment to decrease overstressing ligamants, muscles and bones. They aren't for everyone, but you know your body better than anyone, if you feel you've got an issue with your foot alignment come on in for an assessment.

One common example is the classic flat foot.  Flat feet can cause your knees to "knock" this coming together of the knees also causes increased wear on the knee joint which can lead to premature degenerative changes, arthritis, meniscus and ligamant damage.  If your knee hurts maybe you limp on one side, then the limp causes poor hip use and then an increased lean of the trunk to one side causes increased lumbar pain and your entire alignment/balance is compromised all becuase your flat feet weren't addressed soon enough.  It's all about an ounce of prevention right?

Orthotic evaluation and casting is performed onsite.  Your cast and recommendations for proper style and application are sent to the lab and the orthotics are designed especially for you.  In addition to the evaluation and casting we stress the importance of balancing the length and strength of the muscles, ligaments and tendons of the feet and ankles and provide appropriate lifelong exercises to assist with breaking the foot pain cycle.
