Discover the benefits of orthotic/braces
Do you experience pain in your feet, ankles, knees, hips, or back? Often, these issues stem from misalignment of the feet and can be effectively addressed with custom orthotic inserts!
Orthotic inserts ensure optimal alignment of the feet and lower extremities, allowing them to function at their highest potential. They can reduce pain, alleviate pressure, and enhance stability throughout the kinetic chain. In simpler terms, correcting the alignment of your feet can relieve pain and imbalances in your knees, hips, and back. Additionally, orthotics are used to treat specific conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, heel spurs, and arthritis. Our techniques ensure that our orthotics fit the contours of your feet, providing maximum support, comfort, and function.
Although custom orthotics are more expensive than off-the-shelf devices, they last much longer and offer more individualized support and correction. Our orthotics come with a lifetime guarantee on the shell, so you don’t need to worry about them wearing down!
How Does It Work?
We use a pressure map to measure how your feet interact with the ground both while standing and walking. This allows us to compare your feet—right versus left—and to other “normal” scans. Based on these results and our doctors’ clinical expertise, we create a custom orthotic insert just for you!
Conditions That May Benefit from Our Custom Orthotics:
-
A common painful inflammation of the sole of the foot near the heel, often causing pain first thing in the morning.
-
Often affects different joints of the foot.
-
Interferes with circulation in the feet, requiring custom shoe modifications or custom-built footwear to alleviate pressure points.
-
A painful foot disorder affecting the bones and joints at the ball of the foot.
-
Growth of dense tissue or bone from the heel bone due to excessive pressure.
-
Collapse of the normal arch, causing negative effects up the chain to the knee, hips, and back.
-
Exaggerated arch resulting in increased pressure and compensations up the leg and spine.
-
Often results from foot misalignment causing the knee to collapse inward excessively.
-
Often due to foot misalignment causing compensations in the spine.
-
Due to instability of the ankle, which can be addressed with proper orthotics.
