Considering getting custom orthotics? 

Your feet endure thousands of steps daily, absorbing forces up to 2-3x your body weight. Poor alignment alongside untreated calluses or other conditions reduce your mobility. No two feet are ever symmetrical, even your own! Custom orthotics are custom made for each foot, with every condition in mind in hopes of biomechanical correction, pressure redistribution, and accommodation. Off-the-shelf insert are glorified cushions offering little to no support. How can premade inserts that are symmetrical help your two asymmetrical feet?

 

You can call the office  to schedule an appointment to get fitted for custom orthotics.
