They may also modify how they walk, and appear to “waddle”. Foot or foot-related problems may affect a person’s skeletal alignment and their gait, resulting in poor balance and an increased risk of falling. It is projected that in 2020 the costs associated with falls in the USA will be $43 Billion. Many studies have been performed to look at the efficacy of orthotics on balance and posture. In one particular study, the researches objectively measured balance in individuals that had taken a fall in the past year. They then provided custom orthotics to each individual in the group and retested balance over a period of time. The results provided evidence that customized orthotics improved balance measures for older adults. If you or a loved one is unstable and prone to falls, contact us for a free 15 minute GaitScan in our Deerfield clinic to see if orthotics might help.

“When I sprain my ankles (all too often), I generally take about a month to recover fully. When I sprained my ankle most recently, I was advised to go to Preferred Physical Therapy, and so I went the next morning. They began treatment that day, and I began noticing results immedietly. My swelling drastically decreased after only a few days, and I was weight- bearing faster than I ever had been before. Everyone I worked with was very competent and nice, and I had an overall fantastic experience. Would highly recommend.” - T.K. (Actual Google Review)
