DID YOU KNOW...That wearing the proper footwear can mean the difference between comfort and potential injury!?

Here are just some of the benefits of Custom Orthotics:

- Providing Pain Relief!
Custom orthotics can be created to support flat feet or high arches, provide relief of heel pain, plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammertoes, corns/calluses and even arthritis!

-Providing Superior Injury Protection
Custom orthotics provide extra support as well as a stable surface that protects the motion of your feet and legs. This extra protection is perfect for minimizing the strain on your feet and helping your body avoid over-extension.

-Addressing Pronation and Supination
Pronation is when collapsed arches allow the ankle to fall toward the midline of the body, this makes your body more susceptible to a knee injury
Supination is caused by having very high arches. When your arches are high, your ankles tend to lean outward away from the midline of the body. This also adds additional strain to your knees, hips, and lower back.

-Correcting Foot Abnormalities
Having two feet or legs that don’t have the same structure, a set of custom orthotics can provide additional support and balance your legs.

Custom orthotics can be manually modified and adjusted to your personal needs, resulting in greater uniformity, flexibility, and a reduced risk of injury caused by imbalance.
