At Orthotic Works we don’t just take a cast of your foot and send
you home. We give you our attention, and work with you until you’re back
on your feet. We start with a complete computer analysis of your feet,
at rest, in motion and in footwear. The information we gather about your
day-to-day activities and the footwear you spend most of your time
wearing, provides us with all the detail necessary to solve your
specific problem. A follow-up program is tailored to your specific case,
in order to monitor your successes and ensure that you remain free from
pain and discomfort.
