Bunions, corns, hammer toes, etc.
Shin splints

Treat pain, discomfort and improve posture with orthotics

Walking, hiking, jogging, cycling, and skiing are now more efficient and enjoyable for our customers since their foot support and footwear are working for them, eliminating foot, knee, and back discomfort and improving their posture.

To ensure that patients receive the best care possible, I collaborate closely with referring physicians, chiropractors, PTs, and acupuncturists. The end aim is enhanced stability, comfort, and gait alignment, which in turn greatly improves posture, general body dynamics, and alignment from the ground up.

Experience pain-free running with custom insoles

One of the main reasons I see clients is because they are experiencing pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips or back while playing sports, running, or even just standing on their feet for work. Custom shoe or boot insoles that are made specifically for an individual take your biomechanics and tailor an insole specifically for you.

This not only improves your gait, but ensures that your joints are aligned properly to reduce stress on joints, and treat painful conditions.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is a common and painful condition characterized by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. The intense heel pain associated with plantar fasciitis can be debilitating. Custom orthotics can help by:

Arch Support: Custom orthotics provide crucial arch support, which reduces the strain on the plantar fascia and promotes its healing.
Pressure Distribution: They distribute pressure evenly across your foot, preventing excessive pressure on the heel and the arch.
Cushioning: Orthotics offer cushioning and shock absorption, providing relief during daily activities and minimizing discomfort.

Pronation and Supination

Pronation (inward rolling) and supination (outward rolling) are natural movements of the feet. However, excessive pronation or supination can lead to various issues such as instability and discomfort. Custom orthotics can help by:

Gait Correction: Orthotics are designed to correct abnormal gait patterns by providing the necessary support and stability.
Alignment: They ensure that your feet are properly aligned, reducing the risk of injuries associated with overpronation or oversupination.

Metatarsalgia and Morton’s Neuroma

Metatarsalgia is characterized by pain in the ball of the foot, while Morton’s neuroma involves a pinched nerve between the metatarsal bones. Custom orthotics can help by:

Metatarsal Support: Orthotics offer metatarsal support to alleviate pressure on the forefoot and redistribute weight more evenly.
Cushioning: They provide cushioning to reduce the compression of nerves, offering relief from Morton’s neuroma pain.

Accessory Navicular and Arthritis

Accessory navicular and arthritis conditions like hallux rigidus and limitus affect the structure and function of the foot. Custom orthotics can help by:

Support and Stabilization: Orthotics support and stabilize the affected area, reducing discomfort and improving mobility.
Friction Reduction: They reduce friction and pressure on arthritic joints, making walking more comfortable.

PTTD and Sesamoiditis

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) can result in a collapsed arch, while sesamoiditis causes pain around the sesamoid bones near the big toe. Custom orthotics can help by:

Arch Support: Orthotics offer arch support to help correct and prevent the progression of PTTD.
Pressure Reduction: They reduce pressure on the sesamoid bones, providing relief from sesamoiditis pain.

Achilles Tendonitis

Achilles tendonitis involves inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which can cause discomfort and limit mobility. Custom orthotics can help by:

Heel Cushioning: Orthotics provide heel cushioning, which reduces the tension on the Achilles tendon and aids in healing.
Alignment: They promote proper foot and ankle alignment, reducing strain on the tendon.

Bunions, Corns, Hammer Toes

Toe deformities like bunions, corns, and hammer toes can be painful and affect your ability to walk comfortably. Custom orthotics can help by:

Customized Fit: Orthotics are tailored to accommodate the unique shape of your feet and provide padding to reduce friction and discomfort.
Pressure Relief: They can alleviate pressure points and improve overall foot function.

Shin Splints

Shin splints are a common issue among athletes and runners, causing pain in the lower leg. Custom orthotics can help by:

Gait Correction: Orthotics correct gait issues, reducing excessive stress on the shins during physical activities.
Shock Absorption: They improve shock absorption, reducing the risk of shin splints and making physical activities more comfortable.
