Custom Orthotics

Foot pain can arise in multiple ways. One way is often plantar fasciitis. While other possibilities include high arches, flat feet, posterior tibial tendonitis or even pain originating from your knees.

Orthotics act as extra support to offload the stress on your foot to improve function. By controlling the posture of your feet, we are able to relieve pressure and increase the comfort of your daily activities.

Our physical therapy staff can provide you with personally fitted orthotics for your foot and ankle pain.

When you come into the physical therapy department, our physical therapy staff will apply plaster material to your feet. When this dries, the mold is used to create custom supports for your feet.
