What You Should Know ABOUT YOUR ORTHOTIC APPOINTMENT
Your Visit
Orthotic assessments will include both weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing examinations in addition to footwear and gait analyses. These investigations will determine whether or not you will benefit from orthotic therapy in addition to other therapeutic modalities to achieve symptom resolution.
Diagnosis and treatment options will be discussed and an initial treatment plan formulated.
Follow-up visits are encouraged to ensure the effectiveness of your orthotic therapy and to update the path of your ongoing treatment plan.
Our Orthotics
VeriScan Podiatric 3-dimensional laser scanner is employed to capture your structural deformity which is then corrected by the prescription orthotic device. Our foot orthoses conform to the “Anatomical Custom Foot Orthoses” classification as defined in PFOLA’s Technical Standards Definition Document. We do not use a “library” system of digital shape files, pre-corrected molds, or prefabricated shells.
Who Can Benefit?
A properly imaged and prescribed orthotic device can provide resolution for people suffering from a wide range of foot and ankle problems including: heel and arch pain, bunions, knee pain, leg pain, general foot and ankle pain and many other conditions associated with structural foot abnormalities. Orthotic therapy is also employed to protect high-risk neuropathic feet from deformity and injury.
