FEATURED SERVICE: CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Why Custom Orthotics? Orthotics are specially designed corrective devices made to restore the natural position of the feet. They act as an interface between the feet, the shoe and the ground. The purpose of the device is to support the bones and joints of the feet to maintain optimal neutral position and to eliminate or compensate any misalignments or structural problems of the feet. Orthotics not only have the potential to improve foot and ankle issues but can assist in recovery from knee, hip and back issues in certain patients. Why OrthoBethesda Orthotics? We are the only group using 3D onsite printing to manufacture custom foot orthotics. This process enhances accuracy and significantly decreases turnaround time. At most facilities, it takes 4 to 6 weeks to receive your orthotics after your initial visit. At OrthoBethesda, you will receive your orthotics within 1 week of your initial visit. Additionally, your orthotics can be further adjusted as needed onsite during your issue, fit and train session.
