Services
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are prescription devices designed to correct biomechanical imbalances and alleviate foot, knee, or back pain. Our on-site lab fabricates these inserts using advanced materials and gait analysis data. Patients benefit from improved alignment and mobility while standing, walking, or engaging in physical activities.
Orthopedic Footwear
Orthopedic footwear provides essential support for individuals with foot deformities, diabetes, or chronic pain. We offer brands like New Balance and Brooks with specialized features including extra depth, arch support, and seamless interiors. These shoes accommodate custom orthotics while enhancing daily comfort and foot health.
Compression Socks
Compression socks improve circulation and reduce swelling through graduated pressure application. Our certified specialists fit patients with appropriate compression levels (15-40 mmHg) based on medical needs. These garments effectively manage varicose veins, post-surgical recovery, and chronic venous insufficiency when properly prescribed.
Knee & Ankle Bracing
Custom and over-the-counter braces stabilize joints and reduce pain from arthritis, tendonitis, or ligament damage. Our experts use 3D scanning and fiberglass casting to create personalized solutions that improve mobility while addressing specific biomechanical issues in knees and ankles.
Diabetic Foot Care
Our diabetic foot care program includes sensory testing, wound management, and therapeutic footwear solutions. Certified chiropodists perform regular assessments to prevent ulcers and amputations through early detection of neuropathy, vascular issues, and skin conditions associated with diabetes.
