Bone Health

Strong bones are the foundation of a healthy, active life. Our bone health program focuses on early detection and proactive management of bone density issues to prevent fractures and maintain your structural integrity. Our team, which includes a certified clinical densitometrist, integrates bone health strategies with your overall joint preservation and sports medicine care.

Who It’s For

  • Patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis, post-menopausal women, athletes with a history of stress fractures, and anyone concerned about their fracture risk.

What We Do

  • We provide comprehensive bone density screening, fall risk assessment, personalized counseling on nutrition, targeted exercise, and medication when necessary.

What to Expect

  • Your evaluation helps us create a clear, proactive plan to protect your bones, keeping you strong and resilient for years to come.

Custom Orthotics

Your feet are your body’s foundation, and improper alignment can cause a chain reaction of pain in your ankles, knees, hips, and back. Custom orthotics are medical devices placed in your shoes to correct biomechanical foot issues, evenly distribute pressure, and restore proper function.

Conditions Treated

  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Overpronation (Flat Feet)
  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Metatarsalgia (Ball-of-Foot Pain)
  • General Foot or Knee Pain

The Process

  • We conduct a thorough gait analysis and create a precise mold of your feet using casting or digital scanning. This data is used to craft orthotics tailored to your unique anatomy.

Benefits

  • Unlike over-the-counter inserts, custom orthotics provide targeted support to relieve pain, prevent injury, and improve your overall movement efficiency.
