Orthotics and Customized Foot Supports

Foot Orthotics are customized support systems designed and manufactured to fit your feet in order to balance the biomechanical insufficiencies of your feet and lower extremities. Orthotics are medical devices used to modify the functional and structural characteristics of the neuromusculoskeletal system of the lower body.

Some reasons to use custom foot orthotics include:

• Control and guide joint movements in the foot and lower extremity
• Restrict or facilitate mobility in specific directions
• Aid in gait training
• Decrease weight bearing forces for specific purpose
• Assist rehabilitation of healing fractures

Specific to orthopedic injury and prevention, orthotics are commonly used as an adjunctive therapy to treat:

• Foot pain – plantar fasciitis, bunions, arch pain, metatarsalgia, Morton’s neuroma, fractures, amputation, tendonitis, arthritis, and more.
• Leg pain – Shin splints, Achilles’ tendonitis, tibial stress syndrome, peroneal tendonitis, muscle strains, and ligament sprains.
• Knee pain – Patellofemoral pain syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, bursitis, ligament sprains, muscle strain, and arthritis.
• Hip pain – Arthritis, ITB syndrome, bursitis, muscle strain, ligament sprain.
• Lumbopelvic pain – back strain, degenerative disc disease, malalignment, leg length discrepancy.

At our clinic, all of our therapists are highly experienced and qualified to perform biomechanical and gait analysis to determine your necessity for orthotics. We will take a 3D impression of your feet by casting it with plaster slipper casts or foam box casting. These casts will be used to fabricate your orthotics. We provide Footmaxx orthotics for your specific needs, whether it is for sports, work or rehabilitating an injury.
