ALLEN'S CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Oftentimes certain foot types lead to functional changes such as over-pronation during walking and running sports, leg length differences, "shin splints", hip pain, lower back pain, toe pain, lateral foot pain and more. Custom orthotics are capable of successfully managing all of these foot types and helping the resulting conditions.
Custom orthotics can control excessive motion or abnormal foot positions (e.g., flat feet, high arches), improve shock absorption and alter lower extremity mechanics to reduce stress of feet, ankles, knees, hips and lower back.
THE PROCESS:
-Licensed PT performs examination, taking specific measurements of foot and ankle for an orthotic prescription.
-The feet are casted in a specific alignment to aid in the design of the orthotics.
-The therapist selects from an assortment of materials customized for the individual's needs
-The casts are shipped off where they are manufactured and shipped back for fitting.
-The patient is instructed in fitting and proper wear. Any necessary modifications needed for comfort can be made as need at no extra charge.
Our orthotics are made specifically for each individual to effectively align your body to function optimally.
