"BRIDGING-THE-GAP WITH INNOVATIVE
FOOT CARE PRODUCTS!"
Custom (prescription)
orthotics normally provide the most therapeutic value. However,
they can be very expensive and are generally not covered
by health care plans. As a result, they can be a financial
burden for the consumer.
The retail (over-the-counter)
market is flooded with a variety of shoe inserts. Most store
bought inserts (also called insoles) are fabricated from
nothing more than different density cellular sponge and/or
foam rubber materials. They may provide some shock absorption
and comfort, but little (if any) therapeutic control or
support. If you can bend a shoe insert in half, it is nothing
more than an insole.
Ortho-Dynamics
comprehensive line of pre-molded (non-prescription)
orthotics bridges-the-gap between expensive custom
(prescription) orthotics and flimsy (non-therapeutic) store
bought insoles. Our pre-molded devices are true (biomechanical)
orthotics, providing therapeutic support, control
and stability as well as shock absorption, comfort and protection.
They are manufactured
at the same facility and from the same materials used to
fabricate our custom (prescription) devices. They utilize
hi-tech polymer or graphite composite shells for arch support,
biomechanical control and stability and are covered with
cellular cushioning materials and felt top covers, which
provide excellent shock absorption, comfort and protection.
The only major
difference between our custom and pre-molded orthotics is
that we mold our pre-molded orthotics on (standard) wood
arch models by shoe size, as opposed to an exact mold of
an individual's foot. This difference enables us to mass
produce our pre-molded orthotics, passing the considerable
savings on to you the consumer.
Our pre-molded
devices help control abnormal foot motion, especially excessive
pronation. Over time, this motion (when the arch collapses
too much and the foot rotates too far inward) can lead to
the development of conditions
such as Achilles tendinitis, bunions, heel spurs, metatarsalgia,
Morton's neuroma, plantar fasciitis (heel and arch pain),
post-tib tendinitis, shin splints, tarsal tunnel syndrome,
as well as knee pain (chondromalacia, iliotibial band syndrome),
hip pain and lower back pain. We also offer modifications
to our pre-molded orthotics for individuals requiring more
correction than our standard models provide.
We offer a complete
line of pre-molded orthotics, available for different footwear,
different activities, and different conditions. They are
available in men's full sizes 7-13 and women's full sizes
6-11. If you are a half size, we recommend ordering the
next full size larger. If necessary, full-length top covers
can be trimmed for proper fit.
Our pre-molded
orthotics are not a replacement for the therapeutic value
provided by custom orthotics. However, they are a viable
treatment alternative (providing many of the same therapeutic
benefits), at a fraction of the cost.
