Orthotics

Custom-molded orthotics are an essential part of the care for foot and ankle problems. Many of these problems are caused by poor foot position or alignment and can be dramatically improved with the use of custom orthotics. The purpose of these orthotics is to hold the foot in a certain position while controlling the amount of motion the joints go through in a normal walk. Every foot has a unique arch and foot type. The making of orthotics is a blend of art and technology. To be precise, our doctors perform a complete foot and ankle exam and a gait analysis. They will then determine the proper type of orthotic for you, based on your foot type, pathology, activity level and shoe type. Our doctors make orthotics for professional and college athletes in many different sports. Although athletes make up a large part of our practice, we offer orthotics for everyone, from small children to weekend warriors and the elderly.
