What Are custom Orthotics?
Foot pain is caused by poor foot biomechanics, muscle imbalances and incorrect footwear can lead to foot pain. Custom orthotics are designed to support your feet in what is referred to as the neutral position. Neutral position occurs when you are standing upright, and your feet are in alignment with your knees, hips and lower back. Orthotics can be customized for your athletic wear, casual shoes and specialized shoes made by our professional laboratory which has been in business for over 27 years.
How Do Custom Orthotics Help You?
Foot imbalances can be recognizable from childhood and may even start as early as the age of three. Custom foot orthotics will reduce pain and discomfort by improving the overall alignment of the ankle foot complex while standing, walking and running. Orthotics will allow for proper weight distribution through your feet to help correct posture and abnormal foot and gait functions. The end result is a decrease or elimination of foot problems such as corns, calluses and very often ankle, knee, leg, hip and lower back problems.
What are the benefits of Orthopedic Shoes?
Orthopedic shoes can have a great benefit for people who suffer from chronic foot pain or any other foot complications. Ordinary shoes do not always promote the best support for the ankle and arch of a foot, but orthopedic shoes contain modifications for better support.

The orthopedic shoes are also designed to will also encourage blood flow to reduce incidences of swelling and prevent the development or aggravation of foot conditions.

As the field has progressed, orthopedic shoes today are more stylish than previous models. They are designed to promote added support and cushioning to improve your daily life while still having a fashionable look.
What are the benefits of Compression Stockings?
Compression stockings have many advantages when considering the prevention and/or further progression of venous disorders. The elasticity of the garments can be beneficial by compressing the lower limbs to reduce the diameter of distended veins. This enhances venous blood flow velocity and valve effectiveness to help with overall circulation of the lower limbs. Compression stockings are often used in the treatment of tired or aching legs, edemas, chronic peripheral venous insufficiency, varicose veins, spider veins, deep vein thrombosis, lymphedemas, and phlebitis.
