| ORTHOTICS |
| Our Chiropractor Dr. David Lee prescribes orthotics as a conservative form of treatment for some lower extremity and lower back dysfunction and pain. Orthotics are custom made shoe inserts that are intended to correct an abnormal or irregular walking pattern. They perform functions that make standing, walking, and running more comfortable and efficient by slightly altering the angles at which the foot strikes a walking or running surface.
Orthotics take various forms and are constructed of various materials. All are concerned with improving foot function and minimizing stress forces that could ultimately cause foot deformity, ankle, knee, hip, and lower back pain. We prescribe and mold orthotics for all different types of activities, whether it is a rigid orthotic designed to control function, semi-rigid foam orthotic which provides for dynamic balance of the foot while walking or participating in sports, or a sport specific orthotic designed to fit in a particular shoe or boot depending on the activity. |
