Foot, Ankle, & Orthotics
Comprehensive Foot, Ankle & Orthotics Evaluation
Our Foot, Ankle & Orthotics Evaluation is designed to enhance your comfort, prevent injuries, and boost your daily energy levels. The way your foot interacts with the ground plays a crucial role in your overall well-being during standing and walking.
1. Shoe Wear Pattern Assessment
We start by carefully examining your current shoes. By identifying wear patterns, we can gain insights into your walking habits and offer tailored recommendations based on your commonly worn pairs.
2. Structural Assessment
Next, we evaluate the physical composition of your feet and ankles. This includes analyzing:
- Shape and Alignment: How your feet and ankles are structured.
- Arches: The height and functionality of your arches.
- Callus Formation: Areas of pressure that may indicate biomechanical issues.
3. Functional Assessment
Our Functional Assessment focuses on understanding how your feet move biomechanically:
- Movement Tests: Conducted while weight-bearing to observe how your feet function under stress.
- Functional Dynamics: We observe your movement during tasks like stepping up, heel raises, and squatting.
- Gait Analysis: Your natural walking pattern is assessed on a treadmill to identify any abnormalities.
4. Customized Comprehensive Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a personalized plan to address your specific needs. This plan may include:
- Custom Temporary Orthotics: Tailored to correct biomechanical faults. Allows you to try them before you buy permanent orthotics.
- Manual Therapy Techniques: To restore function and alleviate pain.
- Tailored Exercises: Designed to strengthen and support your foot and ankle structures.
- Shoe Wear and Orthotic Recommendations: Ensuring your footwear supports your foot health and overall well-being.FFuck
