Orthotics are inserts placed in the shoe to relieve strain on the joints of the foot, knee, hip and spine. They can be custom made or bought off-the-shelf.

Orthotic Therapy is helpful to everyone from industrial workers to elite athletes. Anyone who has pain in the foot, knee, hip or back may benefit from a custom insert. You should discuss your current symptoms with your healthcare provider to determine if custom orthotics are recommended for you.

Custom orthotics have many advantages when compared to off-the-shelf inserts. Orthotic Therapy custom inserts are made from a plaster cast of your foot, and specifically designed to treat problems identified during an evaluation by our licensed Physical Therapist, Heather Stacey, MS PT, ATC.
