Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotic foot braces are corrective devices made to assist a foot that
fails biomechanically, to function normally. This is achieved by first
obtaining a neutral position plaster foot mold. The custom orthotics
are made at our Professional Pedorthic Lab from specially selected thermoplastics
that are heat molded to fit the subject's corrected positive plaster cast.
The orthotics are made to control abnormal foot function, re-establish proper
weight distribution and overall biomechanics by not allowing the foot to fall
out of subtalar neutral position during gait. Improper foot function and
weight distribution of the lower extremities is often the cause of many foot,
lower leg, pelvic, back and neck overuse or stress injuries. The proper
use of these corrective devices should significantly reduce a patient's symptoms.

Our Orthotics
With our state-of-the-art materials we have the unique ability to manufacture a custom orthotic to fit nearly any shoe or boot application, including skates.
All our devices
are
"Semi Flexible" in order to reduce excessive or abnormal foot deformity
in motion while still allowing the foot to function properly.
This
allows for optimum correction with maximum compliance. Unlike
that
of a ridged device a semi flexible orthotic will allow for better shock
absorption and therefore less chance of reflex injuries up the leg and
hip
.
We have a variety
of thicknesses to accommodate all sizes and activities of people.
Due to the thinness of our new materials we have the ability to add
modifications
to the orthotic without compromising shoe fit.
