Orthotics

Orthotics treatment at Universal Chiropractic with Dr. Janina may include the following steps:

Initial Assessment:

Dr. Janina would conduct a thorough assessment of the patient's condition, which may include a review of medical history, physical examination, and possibly diagnostic tests such as X-rays or gait analysis. This assessment helps determine the patient's specific orthotic needs and any underlying musculoskeletal issues that may be contributing to their symptoms.

Custom Orthotic Prescription:

Based on the assessment findings, Dr. Janina may prescribe custom orthotic devices tailored to address the patient's individual needs. These orthotics could include shoe inserts (foot orthotics), braces, or other supportive devices designed to improve biomechanical alignment, provide support, and alleviate pain or discomfort.

Orthotic Fabrication:

If custom orthotics are prescribed, molds or digital scans of the patient's feet or affected body part may be taken to ensure a precise fit. These molds or scans are then used to fabricate the custom orthotic devices according to Dr. Janina's specifications.

Fitting and Adjustment:

Once the orthotic devices are ready, the patient returns to the clinic for fitting and adjustment. Dr. Janina ensures that the orthotics fit comfortably and provide the necessary support and alignment. She may make adjustments to the orthotics as needed to optimize their effectiveness and ensure patient comfort.

Follow-up Care:

Ongoing monitoring and follow-up appointments may be scheduled to assess the patient's progress with the orthotic treatment. Dr. Janina may provide additional recommendations for exercises, lifestyle modifications, or chiropractic care to complement the orthotic treatment and address any underlying issues contributing to the patient's symptoms.
