Did you know that our “Secret Weapon” custom orthotics can not only enhance your athletic and workplace performance, but they can also help you recover from pain and injuries more quickly?

Orthotics enable the structures in the foot to work together with the body's mechanics as nature intended, making each safer, more stable, and pain-free.

Unlike store-bought inserts, our custom orthotics are molded to fit each of our patients’ individual feet. Since each pair is custom-tailored, you can be sure that they fit and do what they're designed to do, specifically for you.

In addition to relieving pain and reducing inflammation, custom orthotics help control the alignment and function of the foot. This helps treat and prevent injuries caused by sharp or excessive movement during physical activity. Custom orthotics also help make activities like running and walking more efficient by improving the foot's structure.

To learn more about how custom orthotics can help you reach and achieve your goals, and improve your activity so that you can do more of what you love with more confidence and less pain visit our website and schedule your comprehensive biomechanical evaluation today www.drleecohen.com/contact or call our Sports Medicine Podiatry Center and book an appointment at either our Marlton, N.J. sports medicine facility or Ridley Park, P.A. office location with one of our podiatric sports medicine specialists at (610) 522-9200.

If you’ve ever struggled with lingering pain in your feet, knees, hips, or lower back, there’s a strong chance that your biomechanics are at the root of the issue. Biomechanics refers to the way your body moves—how your bones, joints, and muscles work together each time you walk, run, or exercise. When everything is aligned correctly, movement feels natural and efficient. But when even slight imbalances occur, they can create a ripple effect that leads to discomfort and injury over time.

If you or someone that you care for suffers from pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and/or lower back, the pain may be due to misalignment caused by faulty biomechanics, which can be treated and corrected with the help of custom orthotic insoles.

Children's feet, ankles, and lower bodies should not hurt, regardless of the severity of the pain.

These warning signs are indicators of issues and/or ongoing conditions that may require medical attention:

-Complaining of pain, cramping, or numbness in the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and lower back

-Repetitive recurring injuries relative to the feet, ankles, or lower body extremities (legs, knees, hips, or back)

-Fatigue

-Can’t keep up during sports-related activities

-Avoiding sports and physical activities

-Stumbling or tripping

-Trouble sleeping

-Hiding their feet

-Rolling of the ankle

-Change in gait

-Poor posture

These issues, injuries, and conditions need to be corrected and treated early on to prevent further damage, worsening conditions, and the possibility of lifelong pain and suffering.

Some are more noticeable than others, but regardless, the good news is that almost all of them can be easily and effectively treated with a custom orthotic.

Don’t wait. Take action. Call our office (610) 522-9200 or visit drleecohen.com to schedule a biomechanical examination with one of our pediatric podiatry specialists at our Marlton, N.J. or Ridley Park, PA. office today.

Just as conditioning strengthens the body and practice sharpens skills, a thorough lower body exam ensures that the foundation of performance is solid. By prioritizing this proactive step, athletes can protect themselves from injury, maximize their performance, and set themselves up for success not only this season but for many more to come.

A preseason podiatric exam goes far beyond checking for pain or past injuries. It provides a detailed look at alignment, biomechanics, flexibility, strength, and footwear supports critical components of both injury prevention and performance optimization.

Custom orthotics will help to level out the imbalance caused by the athlete’s faulty biomechanics and correct the abnormal motion, demonstrated by Dr. Cohen, so that he can go further faster, pain-free.

If you or someone that you care for suffers from pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and/or lower back, the pain may be due to misalignment caused by faulty biomechanics, which can be treated and corrected with the help of custom orthotic insoles.

Our feet are the foundation of our body’s movement, and when something is misaligned, it can throw everything off balance. One common but often overlooked structural issue is forefoot varus. If you're dealing with chronic foot pain, ankle instability, or even higher issues in your knees or hips, forefoot varus might be playing a role.

Forefoot varus is a congenital foot deformity where the front part of the foot (the forefoot) is inverted relative to the rearfoot when the subtalar joint is in a neutral position. In simpler terms, the inside of the foot sits higher off the ground than it should, especially when standing flat. This misalignment can force the foot to compensate in ways that lead to pain and dysfunction.

If you’re experiencing recurring pain, unusual wear on your shoes, or postural imbalances, it’s worth having your foot structure evaluated. The earlier you address the problem, the easier it is to prevent long-term complications.

If you or someone that you care for suffers from pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and/or lower back, the pain may be due to misalignment caused by faulty biomechanics, which can be treated and corrected with the help of custom orthotic insoles.

Dr. Cohen shown performing gait analysis on a college football and track athlete who suffers from Flatfeet and Limb Length Discrepancy, two conditions commonly seen by our team of sports medicine podiatry specialists, and treated with the help of custom orthotics.

Custom orthotics will help alleviate pain and discomfort caused by these conditions, equalize leg length, and correct any additional imbalances resulting from the athlete’s unequal leg length.

Custom orthotics will also help to improve the athlete’s foot alignment, reducing pressure caused by the imbalance (by helping to evenly distribute his weight), absorbing shock, and helping to correct the imbalances caused by his faulty biomechanics due to his flatfooted condition, thus helping reduce his risk of further injury.

If you've ever felt a nagging ache around your kneecap after a long run, hike, or even just going up and down stairs, you're not alone. This condition, commonly known as runner’s knee, is formally referred to as patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). While it’s frequently associated with athletes, it can affect anyone whose movement patterns put extra stress on the knee joint.
