Pain Problems and How We Help
A foot orthotic is a device that can be discretely inserted into the shoe to support, align, prevent and/or accommodate foot abnormalities and improve how the foot functions. We make your unique orthotics from full-standing weight 3-D plaster casts for greater accuracy and reliable and sustained pain-free results.
Used in conjunction with appropriate footwear, a foot orthotic can be effective in helping to treat a number of foot and lower limb problems including:
-
Arch pain
-
Shin splints
-
Knee pain
Foot orthotics can also help address foot and lower limb pain and complications related to health conditions such as diabetes and arthritis.
Pedorthic treatment may include:
-
Foot and lower limb exam

Custom-made foot orthotic

Recommendation of appropriate and proper-fitting footwear
