4 Reasons to Consider

Our Orthotics are
Personalized to Your Foot!
Shown below is how we get a custom orthotic.
We use a fiberglass mold to capture your unique foot. Then this mold gets sent to a specialized lab with our prescription to be designed for you only. Custom prescription orthotics are some of the most powerful modalities we have to treat foot problems!

Stop wasting money, and time on "over-the-counter" inserts.
For example, did you know a popular big box brand wants $1,500 to $2,000 for inserts that aren't even custom?!
Over-the-counter inserts often fail to address the specific reason for your foot pain. They fail to completely control the poor mechanics of your foot which causes the foot pain, and this is why your pain should be diagnosed by a podiatrist because everyone, and every foot is different.
Here is a great testimonial from one of our patients who had orthotics, and laser therapy to treat heel pain.
