What are orthotics?
Orthotics, also known as braces, are used to support a limb to improve alignment, prevent deformity or support a weakness. They offer benefits like improving ambulation, decreasing pain and more.
Types of orthotics include:
- Custom-made orthotics: Made from your specific measurements to fit only you.
- Off-the-shelf orthotics: Made from a standardized form to fit a variety of people.
- Custom-fit orthotics: Made from an off-the-shelf brace that’s modified to better match your body shape or size.
How are custom orthotics made?
Custom orthotics are made with a mold, impression or scan of the limb that needs support. Our team designs custom orthotics to meet your needs based on your activity level, weight and goals. This process ensures a proper fit and provides the best support specifically to your body.
Off-the-shelf orthotics are made from a standardized form to fit a variety of people, but they won’t always provide the best support for everyone.
