Custom Orthotic
Custom orthotics provide cushioning and support as they redistribute the pressure your feet experience with everyday activities. This is very helpful if you have arthritis or you stand for significant periods during a workday. Orthotics also help prevent pressure ulcers and other foot abnormalities related to diabetes.
Not Only Your Foot But Also Improves Back, Knee, and Ankle health
Foot pain might be what has you interested, but you may also benefit from custom orthotics if you’re experiencing:
-
Back pain
-
Ankle pain
-
Knee pain
Your ankles, knees, and back depend on your feet to maintain their proper alignment and healthy range of motion. Foot problems can create pain and lessen mobility in your joints, muscles, and tendons as your stride or stance changes to compensate for foot pain.
This stresses the soft tissue and bony structures in your back and lower extremities. By returning your feet to their proper alignment, custom orthotics can help prevent these issues.

Body Supports & Braces
-Back, Shoulder & Spine-
As a person walks, the contraction and relaxation of the calf muscles around the veins are necessary to help move blood toward the heart. Compression therapy is the application of external pressure to the limb to reduce venous pressure and promote blood flow towards the heart. Wearing graduated compression stockings or socks will support your veins and increase circulation, reducing both swelling and the feeling of tired, achy legs.
