During our evaluation, we’ll work with you to find the right orthotic for your symptoms. We use the latest orthotic technology to ensure you receive the best care and outcomes.

Do I need custom foot orthotics?

You may benefit from orthotics if you have one of the following conditions:

• Achilles tendonitis

Lower Extremity Amputation Prevention (LEAP)* can dramatically reduce lower extremity amputations in patients with diabetic neuropathy and other conditions.

Physical therapists at Citizens Memorial Hospital Outpatient Therapy are trained in the six-step LEAP program. Through this program, our goal is to help patients reduce their risk of amputation and improve their quality of life.

Six-Step LEAP Program

1. Annual Foot Screening – Your therapist will perform an initial foot screening, identify risks and recommend treatment. Patients should have an annual foot screening.

2. Patient Education – The patient will learn self-management skills and techniques.

3. Daily Self-Inspection – Daily self-inspection is an integral part of the self-management program. Early detection of foot injuries is necessary to prevent potentially more serious problems.

4. Footwear Selection and Orthotic Management – The therapist will provide recommendations for proper footwear and sizing based on your evaluation.

5. Management of Simple Foot Problems – Your therapist will help you avoid foot injuries and wounds. The prevention program emphasizes the importance of reporting all injuries to your provider.

6. Balance Assessment – The therapist will perform a balance assessment to detect issues and help prevent falls.

*LEAP was developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services National Hansen’s Disease Program.
