Orthotic Therapy

Arch collapse is the most common foot problem. Pelvic unlevelling is a common by-product of arch collapse. Consequently, every time a step is taken cumulative stress and strain builds in the lower back which can ultimately lead to recurrent low back pain, not to mention ankle and knee problems.

At our office we utilize an exam procedure that takes into account the static and dynamic nature of the foot. Computer technology tells us valuable information about what your foot is doing when walking. This information helps us to evaluate whether or not faulty foot mechanics are present that can be indicated in low back pain.

Custom made orthotics and shoethotics (shoes with custom orthotics built-in) usually take 10 - 14 days to manufacture and are partially covered (about 80%) by most insurance plans.

You do not need a referral to be tested for orthotics. However, you may need a medical referral in order to receive re-imbursement for orthotics from your insurance company. Call our office to book your appointment for custom orthotics and/or gait analysis.
