Custom Orthotic Therapy

Why custom orthotic therapy?
Because every patient is unique in their biomechanical needs.

Although the word "orthotic" has become a generic term for anything with arch support you put in your shoe, orthotic therapy remains so much more. Skilled observation, measurement, and application are key components to orthotic therapy. An orthotic is what you might attempt in search of some pain relief. Orthotic therapy insures specific therapeutic results.

Orthotic therapy first begins with foot posture and motions that are assessed for efficient interaction, within specific foot segments and with the lower half of the body. A neutral position impression cast is the second step. The "slipper cast" provides a standard on which these segmental measurements and anatomical relationships are evaluated.

Once a slipper cast is sent off, a process that combines biomechanical considerations with custom craftsmanship begins. Technicians trained to address the intricacies of your needs, handle each phase of fabrication. Your expectations for effective treatment are fulfilled on delivery of orthotic therapy from skilled hands.
