Custom Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics address foot problems and related knee, hip, and back issues through personalized biomechanical support. Fabricated from various materials in our on-site lab, these medical devices fit athletic, therapeutic, work, and dress shoes. Our process ensures functional improvement while maintaining comfort, with completed orthotics available within seven days of assessment.
Orthopedic Footwear
Specialized footwear solutions include supportive athletic shoes from Saucony and New Balance, work boots by STC and JB Goodhue, and stylish orthotic-compatible sandals. Our certified shoe fitters help clients find appropriate footwear for medical needs, occupational demands, and recreational activities while accommodating custom orthotic inserts.
Diabetic Foot Care
Comprehensive diabetic foot management includes specialized socks, partial foot amputation accommodations, and pressure-relieving footwear. Our services address neuropathy-related concerns and circulation issues through preventive care strategies and customized footwear solutions designed to minimize ulceration risks and maintain mobility.
Bunion Treatments
We offer both off-the-shelf and custom bunion splints alongside supportive footwear modifications. Our approach combines conservative treatment options with orthotic interventions to alleviate pressure, improve alignment, and prevent progression of deformities while maintaining daily functionality.
Biomechanical Assessments
Complimentary biomechanical evaluations examine gait patterns, foot structure, and pressure distribution to identify functional imbalances. This diagnostic process informs customized treatment plans that may include orthotics, footwear modifications, or supportive devices to address specific musculoskeletal concerns and improve overall mobility.
