Custom foot orthotics are inserts for your shoes that correct the way you stand, walk or run. Your feet provide the foundation for your entire body and do an enormous amount of work each day. Even the smallest imbalance can cause a great deal of pain and discomfort. Orthotics help restore optimal balance and foot function and provide relief from fatigue and pain. Orthotics can be worn comfortably in your everyday footwear. They provide your feet with gentle and consistent proper placement for standing, walking and running.
Your feet have 28 bones that must work in concert for the whole foot to function properly. It is estimated that 60-70% of people have improper foot mechanics. This can lead to problems not only in the foot but up the entire body including the ankles, knees, hips, and low back.
Orthotics are custom made by Dr. Mandy using GaitScan™, a pressure plate with over 3000 tiny sensors that scans your feet as you walk across it indicating if there are faulty foot mechanics. She then determines if custom foot orthotics are necessary or if other treatment options exist. Many health care plans provide coverage for foot orthotics.
