custom made arch supports that are individually manufactured from a cast

Tuning and adjustments to the orthotic may be necessary upon dispensing the orthotic. Our office has an in-house orthotics lab. We employ a certified pedorthist for the manufacturing of our orthotics. Our in-house lab is beneficial in a number of ways. Not only is our turn-around time faster than most labs, but we can also keep our prices down by cutting out the 'middle man'. Also, we use the lab for on-the-spot adjustments of orthotics. Our office takes a careful history and physical to determine whether you are a good candidate for Rx orthotics. Our orthotics are durable and well tolerated by athletes and patients who spend extended periods of time on their feet.
