Through December, we are collecting food donations for the local Fare Share Food Drive. Food donations can be dropped off in the Fare Share bin at the clinic any time. If you need ideas, the food bank has a list of the most needed items.
Thank you for helping us support our community!
Continuing in December, we are offering our Buy one pair of custom orthotics and receive the second pair for only $100 promotion. That’s two pairs for only $600!
Many insurance policies include coverage for orthotics once a year. This is the perfect time to check with your benefits provider to see if orthotics are covered under your plan and, if required, to get a note from your doctor so that you don’t miss out on this promotion!
Custom orthotics differ from the inserts you can buy at any store. They are specially made to conform to the unique shape of your foot and can be created for almost any type of shoe, including high-heeled shoes! They are inserted into the shoe or integrated into the shoe’s design so that they become part of the sole of the shoe.
Your feet should not hurt. They are designed to be used, and pain is the body’s way of warning you that something is wrong. If you ignore the pain, the condition causing it could become worse. Custom orthotics help correct misalignments of the foot, improve posture, and eliminate foot or leg pain.
For more information or for your orthotics assessment, please call us at 905.829.0724.
