Foot Therapy / Orthotics

ORTHOTHIC FOOT THERAPY

Our feet were designed to walk on natural, soft aurfaces like soil and sand. When the feet land on soil or sand, these surfaces give way to accommodate the lower limb's natural striking angle. Unfortunately we give our feet a daily pounding by walking and standing on unnatural hard, flat surfaces like pavements and floors. This forces our feet to roll over and our arches to fatten - a condition called 'excess pronation'.

Poor alignment of the feet and legs can cause wear and tear to other parts of the body, often disrupting normal knee functions and hip alignment as well as increasing forces on muscles in the lower back.

Custom molded orthotics will hold your feet in proper alignment. Dr. Volpe is able to custom mold your foot and build the perfect orthotic for many different types of footwear from high heels to work boots and sneakers. Unfortunately, custom orthotics are not covered by health insurance and must be paid by the patient. *Mention this website and recieve 20% off a pair of orthotics. (APPROX. VALUE $60)
