What are Orthotics, and How Can They Help?

Orthotics are shoe inserts designed specifically for your feet. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics are crafted to address your unique biomechanics and provide targeted support. They can help with a variety of foot and ankle concerns, including:

The Foundation for Effective Orthotics

Creating effective custom orthotics goes beyond simply taking a mold of your foot. Our physical therapists use a comprehensive approach to assess your feet and gait to ensure your orthotics address the root cause of your problem. Here’s what you can expect during our assessment:

  • Biomechanical Evaluation: Our system utilizes a force plate and collects real-time movement data as you walk across it. The system will analyze this data and give specific recommendations based on not just your foot alignment, but what is happening in your foot as you walk.
  • Range-of-Motion (ROM) Evaluation: Tightness or limitations in the mobility of your ankles, hips, and spine can affect your foot function. We’ll assess your ROM to identify areas that might need improvement.
  • Muscle Strength Evaluation: Weakness in certain muscle groups can lead to imbalances and abnormal foot function. We’ll assess the strength of your leg and core muscles.
