Custom Orthotics

    Orthotics are customized, rigid or semi-rigid, insoles that are manufactured according to the specific anatomy of the patient's feet. They function to correct different imbalances in a person's foot mechanics, redistribute forces during gait, and reduce improper stress and strain on different regions of the body.

    By analyzing a patient's individualized physical demands and anatomical structure, as well as, through a few specialized tests, we are able to construct specific orthotics tailored towards the patient's needs and comfort. We may look at a person's gait, wear patterns on current shoes, physical demands of a person's sports and/or occupation(s), anatomical adaptations, required footwear, and any underlying health concerns. All these factors will contribute to fabricating a good fitting and comfortable orthotic.

    Some conditions that benefit from orthotics include (but are not limited to):

    • Bunions/Hallux Valgus
    • Dropped Arches
    • Metatarsalgia
    • Hammer toes
    • Heel spurs
    • Leg Length Inequality
    • Achilles tendonitis
    • Knee pain
    • Fat pad thinning/irritation
    • Arch pain
    • Hip pain
    • Shin splits
    • Heel pain
    • Low back pain
    • Osteoarthritis
    • Plantar Fasciitis
    • Iliotibial Band Syndrom
    • Turf toe
    • Morton's Neuromas
    • Patellofemoral Pain
    • Tibial Stress Syndrome
    • Diabetic Neuropathy
