Do you have...
- persistent heel or foot problems?
- hip or back pain?
- recurrent problems that exercise doesn't help?
- lower leg pain with weight bearing exercises such as running?
- neck pain or headaches with movement?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be a candidate for CUSTOM ORTHOTICS.
Why Orthotics?
Orthotics are designed to maintain "normal" foot position so that the foot can function properly. Normal foot position provides a stable base of support, allows absorption of shock, and assists in the acceleration of the body. Without that position your body has to work harder with every step. Orthotics function by decreasing the stresses of daily function. They bring "the ground" to your foot, limiting overuse of your muscles. They help with simple standing, walking, high impact sports, or running. Orthotics improve shock absorption which helps prevent injuries throughout the body and then correct malalignment issues which interfere with optimum performance.
Why are Orthotics different at DPT?
At Denver Physical Therapy you will be thoroughly assessed by one of our licensed physical therapists who have advanced training in biomechanical evaluation. A biomechanical evaluation consists of a static and dynamic assessment of your spine, pelvis, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Your physical therapist will correlate the findings of this assessment with the demands of your lifestyle and shoe wear to help decide if a custom orthotic is recommended.
