Biomechanical analysis studies human movement to assess musculoskeletal health. Podiatrists identify irregularities via activities like walking. This includes evaluating foot alignment, gait, range of motion, and muscle strength. The data informs personalized treatment plans for orthotics, exercises, or footwear to enhance efficiency and prevent issues.

Custom foot orthotics are personalized shoe inserts made to support and enhance foot alignment. They can ease foot pain, fix biomechanical problems, and improve foot function. Orthotics aim to spread pressure evenly across the foot by offering tailored cushioning and support, reducing strain on specific areas. Whether recommended for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or diabetic foot issues, custom foot orthotics are designed for each patient's unique needs to boost foot health and movement.

It's important to see your Podiatrist every year for a Diabetic Assessment even if your feet feel fine. During this visit, we will conduct tests, examine your feet, advise on foot care, and decide on future visits.
