Orthotics
 

Completely custom Orthotics made from molds of your feet.  Recommended only after a full biomechanical evaluation and arch taping to see if it will help your problem.

Orthotics are insoles that are placed inside the shoe and used to help correct biomechanical insufficiencies.  There are three main arches in the foot, which are supported primarily by ligaments that attach one bone to another.  If these ligaments become stretched, for example during pregnancy or a job that requires constant standing, these arches can drop or fall to one degree or another.  As your arches fall, it creates increased internal rotation of the lower leg and hip which can cause symptoms anywhere from the feet up to the lower back.  Before we recommend the purchase of Orthotics, which are completely custom, we do a biomechanical evaluation and tape up your arches for a “trial run”, to ensure the Orthotics will help with the problem.

Orthotics can help with some of these common ailments and more:

  • Plantar fasciitis

  • Knee pain

  • Hip pain

  • Lower back pain

  • Shin splints
