Orthotics

Live Comfortably with Custom Orthotics!

Do you experience sore feet? Did you know that as you age, your feet will often change? Changes in the shape of your feet, the support of your ligaments, and complications from previous injuries can all cause strain and pain.

This is why we, at Ellis Physical Therapy, offer custom orthotics in Idaho Falls, ID and Ammon, ID. They provide extra support and relief for your feet.

As physical therapists, we are specifically trained in musculoskeletal movement and have extensive knowledge of gait analysis and biomechanics of the lower extremities.

Our physical therapists can give you a comprehensive orthotic evaluation.  They will provide a custom fitting to determine what will work best for your feet.  

After your evaluation and fitting, it will likely take 7-10 business days for your custom orthotics to come back from the lab.  

After you have received your orthotics, fine-tuning may be needed to provide the best results possible and to ensure your orthotics are working.

So, what’s causing my aches and pains?

Problems with your feet can be caused by several conditions directly related to the feet. General ailments and diseases that affect the body as a whole can also lead to foot pain.

The following are several examples of conditions or diseases that can be the cause of foot pain. These conditions can all be treated with physical therapy: Metatarsalgia, Diabetes, Plantar Fasciitis, Heel Spurs and Arthritis

Other potentially treatable conditions include patellofemoral knee pain, shin splints, Achilles tendonitis and bunions, as well as numerous systemic pathologies that affect the function of the lower limbs.
