Services
Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthoses address mechanical conditions like tendonitis and fasciitis while accommodating bony prominences. These medical devices improve gait mechanics and delay surgical interventions when necessary. Our orthotists employ multiple casting techniques including laser scanning to ensure precise fit and function.
Ankle-Foot Orthoses
Custom-molded AFOs manage foot drop and ankle instability through thermoplastic, carbon composite, or traditional metal designs. Our options range from rigid stabilization to dynamic energy-storing models that enhance natural movement patterns for improved mobility.
Cranial Orthoses
STARband cranial remolding helmets correct infant head shape abnormalities using guided growth techniques. Protective helmets provide impact protection for cranial fractures or trauma risks. Each helmet is custom-fabricated using on-site laser scanning technology for precise fit.
Spinal Orthoses
Custom spinal supports treat conditions ranging from scoliosis to post-surgical stabilization. Our TLSO and LSO braces combine lightweight materials with structural integrity to immobilize and support spinal segments while maintaining patient comfort during healing.
Shoe Modifications
Comprehensive shoe modifications enhance orthotic effectiveness through customized solutions like rocker soles, toe sliders, and pressure-relief excavations. Our technicians implement both functional adaptations for gait improvement and therapeutic modifications for pressure redistribution in diabetic patients.

Derek Kozar!!! Thank you :)
Came to him for a baby helmet. My son is 6 months and it was for cosmetic purposes. This man knows his stuff. Hes completely knowledgeable and always on demand for questions and concerns. He showered me and my partner with information from the first assessment and after every follow up appointment I feel taken care of. Intelligence and care! His front desk receptionist is also sweet as sugar
Will always recommend

The best by far
I went to see Chris when I brought up my prescription for Orthotics. I'm so grateful for the work he did. Now I can truly walk on the cloud. I had so much pain in my feet because I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Chris build a perfect molds for my feet and weeks later, I had them and never felt so great when walking. They also know how to file the proper documents for your extended health care insurance, I was amazed when I submitted so much paperwork to my insurance, bang in three days I had my money back. Thank you Chris and staff for the amazing work you all do there.
