PUTTING YOUR BODY IN BALANCE WITH ORTHOTICS
Prescription orthotics are biomechanical medical appliances custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance(s). Orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes- they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Prescription orthotics are a pleasure to wear as they gently reduce problems associated with pressure points, muscle strain and abnormal forces on the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine. Custom orthotics cost $400 and are often covered by Extended Health Care Benefits.
Test Your Need For Orthotic Support
If you agree with any of the statements below, ask Dr. Amanda or Dr. Matt how orthotics could help you:
​
-
My feet are sore on a regular basis.
-
I play sports regularly.
-
I spend a good portion of my day standing or walking.
-
Standing, walking, or running gives me joint pain.
-
I am over 40 years old.
-
I have visible foot problems (bunions, fallen arches, corns etc.).
-
One of my legs is shorter than the other.
-
I have knock-knees or bow-legs.
-
My shoes wear out quickly or unevenly.
-
My feet “toe out” or “toe in” when I walk.
About 2 years ago, my right heel started bothering me and I was limping. I asked Dr. Matt to take a look at it and he fitted me with orthotics for my shoes. After using them for about 3 weeks I noticed that the pain was gone and so was the limp. I feel comfortable discussing any health issues I have with Dr. Matt. Thanks for watching my back!
