Custom Casted Medical Grade Orhtoses

Because perfect feet are very rare, almost anyone can benefit from some type of shoe orthosis. Orthotics are medical devices that are prescribed to treat and alleviate painful conditions of the foot in otherwise healthy people. They are not to be confused with off-the-shelf devices which offer support but not correction.

Depending on your unique anatomy and medical necessity, Dr. Wedemeyer will prescribe a therapeutic orthotic specific to control the function of your feet to alleviate the many common causes of foot pain and dysfunction. An excellent analogy can be drawn between eyeglasses and a foot orthotic. Much like the correction from alterations in light refraction in the eye due to changes in normative anatomy, a foot orthotic can correct the myriad of structural anomalies which can precipitate dysfunction of the foot and impair optimal efficiency and function. A prescription orthotic is worn full-time and just like corrective eyeglasses, as long as the device is worn it provides the appropriate correction.

We offer custom plaster casted functional and accommodative orthotics utilizing the very latest research in pedal biomechancis. We base your individual on prescription on the desired effect to alleviate your symptoms. Often we can design the device specific to the type of usage based on our patient's lifestyle. We specialize in designs for difficult to fit footwear, athletic needs, employment specific and any other combination necessary to bring you relief and comfort.
