What is the GaitScan?
The GaitScan is a diagnostic tool for assessing biomechanics. Many times, subtle imbalances or deformities of the feet are responsible for pain - high arches and flat feet, for example.
By constantly monitoring you while you walk, the GaitScan can give us a detailed accounting of your feet in motion. With that information, we can create orthotics for your shoes that will help correct the issue.
GaitScan helps our medical staff stop your foot and heel pain.
What is an Orthotic?
An orthotic is a device that supports or corrects musculoskeletal abnormalities or deformities. Orthotics for feet generally take the form of inserts for shoes, often to restore the proper curvature of of the arches of the feet. Another common reason for foot orthotics is to more equally distribute weight as the feet are one of the main weight-bearing parts of the body.
