CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
- A custom orthotic is a medical device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance.
- Custom orthotics reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. Moreover, they help to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle.
- Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as insoles.
- They have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
Conditions treated by custom orthotics:
-
- Overpronation syndrome
- Pes planus (flat arch/foot)
- Plantar Fasciitis (fasciopathy)

BRACING
What is Bracing?
-
- Bracing is a therapeutic method that uses specially designed supports to stabilize, align, and protect certain parts of the body during recovery or to manage chronic conditions.
- These supports, often made from materials like plastic, metal, or fabric, are tailored to fit specific body parts, including the spine, knees, wrists, or ankles.
- Bracing helps limit movement, reduce strain, and alleviate pain, allowing injured tissues to heal properly or providing ongoing support for long-term conditions.

MEDICAL or THERAPEUTIC COMPRESSION:
What is medical or therapeutic compression?
-
- Medical or therapeutic compression is a therapeutic technique that uses specially designed garments, such as compression sleeves, socks, or bandages, to apply controlled pressure to specific areas of the body.
- This pressure supports veins and muscles, promoting proper blood flow and reducing swelling.
- Medical compression is commonly used to manage conditions like varicose veins, lymphedema, and chronic venous insufficiency, as well as to prevent blood clots during recovery or prolonged immobility.
