Have over-the-counter inserts not provided the foot,
knee, and
back pain relief that you had hoped for? If not, medically prescribed and individually
molded orthotics may be the answer.
Orthotics not only can minimize pain but they can also help address other
medical conditions and foot deformities such as
diabetes, bursitis, arthritis, plantar
fasciitis, hammer toes, flat feet, high arches,
bunions, heel spurs and more.
Orthotics are fabricated following a comprehensive exam and are designed
to align your foot/ankle in the most anatomical and efficient position.
Correct alignment leads to reduced stress, compensatory movements, and
pain up the kinetic chain.
Orthotics are not just for flat feet. Many people can benefit from the
use of appropriately prescribed and fit orthotics. Your persistent foot,
ankle, knee, hip or back pain might be coming from your feet. Our body
responds to forces from the ground up in a chain reaction. Starting at
your feet may be piece of the missing puzzle if you’ve been struggling
with pain that doesn’t seem to go away with other treatment interventions.
If you are interested in seeing if orthotics may be appropriate for your pain,
Todd Jensen, Certified Prosthetist and
Brodie Rice, Certified Prosthetist / Orthotist can perform a skilled evaluation of
gait and foot mechanics and prescribe the appropriate device for you.
