Radiographs/Imaging
Radiographs may be ordered from Insight or MIC when needed. Our staff can also obtain reports for radiographs and other imaging that the patient has had done.
Thermoformed Orthotics
Some thermoformed orthotics can be made especially thin to fit in specialized footwear such as skates and cross-country ski boots.
Thermoformed orthotics are precisely made taking into account subtalar joint position and dynamic movements of the foot such as heel expansion and arch height reduction with partial weight-bearing. The subtalar joint is the joint between the ankle bone and the heel bone. The orthotics are relatively slim with technician-varied firmness throughout for improved ease of shoe fit. They are posted (stabilized in the heel, arch, or the forefoot) by the biomechanical examiner. This allows for excellent accommodation of asymmetrical differences between left and right legs.
Foot heating insoles
Foot heating insoles from "Power in Motion" can be incorporated into some orthotics.
