Foot Orthotics

Your feet lay the foundation for the rest of your body. Therefore, foot orthotics are a valuable treatment tool for a variety of injuries. Foot orthotics can help to treat foot pain, knee pain, hip pain and lower back pain. They help to facilitate proper foot position while walking and standing to support all of the joints of the lower half of the body. In our practice, we focus on evidence-based PT services, including biomechanical assessments, gait analysis, and fitting prefabricated or direct-formed orthoses when appropriate. For patients needing true custom-fabricated orthotics (e.g., molded to a patient model from casts/scans), we collaborate with licensed orthotists or refer out as needed to ensure compliance and optimal outcomes. If you're considering custom orthotics, we recommend discussing your specific needs during an evaluation so we can work with you to determine the best path forward.

There are many benefits of the use of foot orthotics, these include:

Decrease in pain during weight bearing
Reduction of pressure on the foot while weight bearing
Correction of poor alignment of the foot during standing and walking
Stabilization of the foot and arch during walking, running, jumping, hopping and stair climbing
Promote better balance
Enhance athletic performance
