Do you have chronic knee pain, shin splints or other joint related problems?

You could benefit from custom fit sports orthotics available at Dr. Wendell Becton’s office. The orthotic system utilized is called Foot Tech. After making an appointment with Dr. Becton’s office you will be examined by trained professionals to see if you could benefit from the use of the custom fit orthotics. Once your need for orthotics has been determined, the orthotic blanks are directly molded to your foot, using the suspension-molding stand, as seen in the top left picture. Technicians can easily add components to provide the ability to functionally position the orthotic as well as determine the amount of rigidity the device will provide.

These components are configured using our grinder to provide modifications for your specific foot needs, as seen in the top right picture. Once the process is complete you are given “wearing” instructions and can begin wearing the orthotics every day. In a few days, you can even wear the orthotics during exercise!
