Prescription biomechanical foot
orthotics are designed and manufactured according to your exact
needs. With today's technology they can be made
to fit easily into a men's or ladies dress up
shoe, running shoes, walking shoes, golf shoes, comfort sandals and even
BIRKENSTOCK sandals. Ideally, prescription
Orthotic
devices should be worn at all times for best therapeutic results and relief
of symptoms. With the help of properly prescribed
Orthotic devices
your feet can begin to operate in a more natural and efficient manner.
Foot pain and dysfunction is usually the end result of
faulty relationships between muscles and bones in your feet. Your feet and
other parts of your body become overworked and damaged, trying to compensate
for disorders in the anatomical alignment of your foot’s skeletal structure.
Pronation (when your ankles roll in excessively
when you walk), flat feet, persistent ankle sprains, heel and arch pain, bunions, corns,
calluses, knee, hip, back and neck pain are all common symptoms.
Orthotics are designed to gently and
consistently force your feet to function properly - avoiding the stress and
strain that causes foot, leg and postural pain.
Our Orthotic devices are custom made and are prescribed
following a necessary biomechanical examination including a weight bearing and
non weight bearing evaluation, foot, leg and plaster casts (moulds)
measurements and a gait analysis. Based upon our evaluation and your
footwear and athletic or occupational needs the appropriate custom Orthotic
devices are prescribed and fitted. All of our Orthotics are manufactured and
regulated by a Podiatric laboratory approved by the Prescription Foot
Orthotic Laboratory Association (PFOLA). To ensure the most accurate,
versatile and comfortable devices possible, computer assisted design (CAD)
is utilized in the manufacturing process.
At our office
we provide a no obligation consultation for patients interested in or
requiring Orthotic devices or Orthopedic footwear.
BEWARE, many unregulated persons without
proper training claim to make or fit Orthotic
devices. Beware of imitations and inferior products that may cause more harm
than good. Ensure that the one
treating your feet is a duly qualified and licensed CHIROPODIST.
