Fit Beyond Your Feet

Only a small percentage of our orthotics candidates are here for foot or ankle pain. Commonly, we are leveraging the support of orthotics for mechanical and neurologic support somewhere up the chain. Locally, this may mean knee or hip pain, but we have successfully applied orthotics to cases of low back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and more.

This comes back to how we assess our patients. We are constantly auditing global neuromuscular coordination. Orthotics are considered when the feet are:

  1. A primary limiting factor to your progress.

  2. Non-responsive to manual therapy, acupuncture, and home exercise.

The unique assessment helps us tailor the orthotic to your need. We assess the structure, coordination, and function of the feet, knees, hips, and trunk. This is done both statically and dynamically to ensure the final product yields the intended changes at the foot and further up the chain. We then work with our select pedorthist to formulate the best possible fit.
