Orthotics

Orthotics look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics work on your feet to reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment.

Footmaxx orthotics are thin and lightweight. They fit easily and discreetly into your existing footwear to provide control and correction for foot and gait abnormalities. Custom made specifically for you, Footmaxx orthotics will correct and improve the way your feet strike the ground, enhancing your natural movement and helping your feet move more efficiently.

Footmaxx orthotics are available in a variety of models to accommodate every lifestyle.

Standard Dress orthotics are designed for patients requiring maximum biomechanical control in normal daily activities. They offer support and correction to help decrease and alleviate pain associated with foot symptoms and increase comfort level to make it through those long days.

Fashion orthotics have been developed for the working woman, to relieve discomfort and reduce long term problems associated with wearing high heel shoes.

The Sportmaxx orthotic line has been specifically designed with the professional and skilled amateur athlete in mind. Sportmaxx orthotics feature sophisticated devices manufactured to increase performance and comfort levels for athletes playing various types of sports, such as baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, running, skiing, and cycling. Sportmaxx Orthotics offer extreme shock absorption, superior motion control and biomechanical correction while allowing for the pronatory and supinatory motions required for each specific sport. No matter what the sport, Footmaxx has an athletic device that is sure to improve your game.

Diabetic and Arthritic patients need to take precautions when it comes to foot care because of the many foot complications associated with these diseases.

The Diabetic orthotic line has been designed to help prevent the risk of ulceration. Patients suffering from diabetes should receive a Footmaxx gait and pressure analysis test to identify thoses patients at risk for ulceration. Identifying and reducing areas of peak pressure along the plantar surface can help prevent the development of plantar ulcers.
