While chiropractic care, soft tissue therapy and rehabilitation exercises are most often the initial strategy for biomechanical problems, there are times where this needs to be supplemented with other forms of correction.

Custom-made orthotics for your feet can aid when improper foot function plays a role in your symptoms. This is often seen in such conditions as plantar fascitis, iliotibial band syndrome, patellar tendonitis and shin splints.

The most common biomechanical faults seen in the feet are overpronation (rolling your foot inward excessively) and oversupination (rolling your feet out excessively).

In order to assure that orthotics will aid each patient, Dr. Izard performs a biomechanical assessment, including a postural exam and gait analysis.  A casting of the patient’s feet is then taken.  Orthotics are ordered to suit the patient’s work and leisure activities.
