State Of The Art Technology
Our treatment protocols have been developed by some of the top Foot and Ankle specialist in the US. Our goal is to give you the most clinically relevant insert that science can deliver! With 15 years of experience in the custom orthotic arena, we have fine tuned the most accurate, low profile, flexible, comfortable orthotics on the market using the most technologically advanced gait scanning system.
DYNAMIC SCANNING
Our state-of-the-art GaitScan™ system allows us to capture millions of data points to best determine our patients' unique biomechanical problems through scanning the entire gait cycle. Our digital casting device records gait timing and captures all results of imbalances and other indicators of common lower limb pathologies.
PRESSURE MAPPING
Our GaitScan™ gives us the ability to view a patient’s plantar distribution in both 2D and 3D. The synchronized mode allows for a direct right and left foot comparison and displays the center of pressure or “gait line” of the foot throughout the gait cycle. Detailed images allow for the easy identification of any inefficiencies.
COMPLIMENTARY REPORTING
We provide complimentary advanced patient reports that can be evaluated and reviewed by us and your doctor. These reports can also serve as supporting assessment documentation for your physician and for future treatment.
Our Process
To deliver first-rate care for feet, we use the most innovative technology and process for creating orthotics. Our scanning system provides 2D and 3D photos mapping the multiple axis points of the foot. We take a live image of your foot in motion to get an analysis of your gait and see precisely where you need relief from pain. The computerized mapping data can substantiate the abnormality of body weight distribution, which creates painful ambulation. It is the key for developing a treatment plan for multiple foot conditions, i.e. plantar fasciitis, unstable MPJ, shin splints, achilles tendonitis, chondromalacia patella, etc. It is a necessary aid in determining if orthotics are a necessary adjunct to our care. We then use the image you see on the screen to create your custom orthotics.
Once you pick up your orthotics, break them in by wearing them an hour a day, increasing how long they’re worn an hour each day for two weeks. After that, you can resume regular weight-bearing activities and exercise, but we recommend you not wear the new orthotics all day until after your two-week break-in period. Give your feet the two weeks it needs to adjust to your new orthotics, and they will feel like new again!
