Orthotics

Did you know.?
"The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day which puts pressure on your knees, hips, pelvis and low back"

Have you ever experienced pain and numbness in your toes or heel when waking up in the morning or by the end of your long day? Or what about pain in your legs, hips and low back when standing, walking or running? Do you have bunions, hammer toes, calluses or corns? If you have answered yes to the above you may be in need of Custom made Orthotics.

Custom made Orthotics look like insoles. They are medical appliances that are made from precise imprints of your feet.

New technology called Gait Scan, has 4096 sensors on it. So when you stand and walk across gait scan, it prints off the exact pressure points and imbalances of your feet.

The price of the orthotics includes your initial assessment, gait scan analysis, the orthotics, follow up appointments and any adjustments to the orthotics. Orthotics are covered by most extended health care plans. If you need a medical prescription, we will make sure to supply everything in order to get fully reimbursed by your insurance provider.
