Custom Orthotics & In-Skate Orthotics

Orthotics (also known as shoe inserts) can be pre-made or custom-made. Prescription orthotics are custom-made and help a person stand, walk, or run better by holding the foot in the correct position. They provide shock absorption and pressure relief and alleviate painful symptoms specific to the individual. We can accurately mold casts of an individual’s feet in our office, then send the casts to a lab to finish the process. We also offer the unique service of fabricating IN-SKATE ORTHOTICS. The orthotics are designed to optimize the fit, comfort, and performance of hockey players, figure skaters, and ice skaters while wearing their skates.

Braces & Supports

When a person has pain, weakness, or an injury, there are times when a brace or supportive device is appropriate. Different types of devices offer varying degrees of support. We are experienced in complex foot and ankle diagnoses and accurately matching an appropriate device to the severity of the lower extremity problem. We carry braces and supports on-site at our Voorhees location and can direct you where to obtain devices when they are not available.
