Custom Orthotics

Our posture and spinal health begins at the feet.- our foundation!  It is vital for us to correct for any abnormalities in our foot structure and the way we walk to optimize our spinal function and the efficacy of our chiropractic adjustments. To this end, we have partnered with Footmaxx, a leading clinical lab in custom orthotic therapy. They work with professional athletes and teams in the NBA, NHL, NFL, and MLS to name a few. Their industry leading quality of orthotics is made possible by their cutting-edge Metascan technology, which we incorporate into our clinic. Every patient receives a foot and gait scan analysis with the Metascan as part of their examination.

The Metscan scan analyzes the biomechanics of one’s feet and it also highlights any abnormality, which might be causing problems with daily activity or walking in general.

The metascan also allows us to determine whether you are a candidate for custom orthotics. Walking is a complex process. It involves your body’s biomechanics from head to toe, including several parts of your brain. We play health detective and investigate what your walk, stride, gait and posture say about your health?

Testimonial

"My low back and foot problems began years ago from being a long distance runner. Many hours pounding the pavement had taken its toll on my body. I had heard that Dr. Bakshi could help me with my consistent lower back pain.  She recommended orthotics after doing a very thorough evaluation using up-to-date technology. She provided me detailed information and education on the injuries and what to expect with the results with orthotics. She also scheduled a follow-up appointment to see how I was finding my orthotics. I would highly recommend this personable and very knowledgeable health care professional. The pain is gone, but more so I am able to get back to running with greater strength and stability”
