FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT ARE CUSTOM ORTHOTICS?
Orthletek orthotics are specially designed custom shoe inserts that are intended to align and support the foot and ankle. When the foot hits the ground it sets up the foundation for the biomechanics of the entire body. Orthotics can be an effective tool to help alleviate both painful and debilitating conditions of the feet, knees, hips, and spine as well as enhancing athletic performance. Orthletek orthotics are crafted using a scan of individual’s feet and can be modified to address your specific problems. Our orthotics are considered “semi-rigid”, which means they are lightweight but have enough rigidity to support the foot while allowing the muscles and joints of the feet to maintain proper strength and mobility.
Your orthotic needs may vary depending on your activities and the shoe that you are wearing. So, we make different styles - like running shoes, bike shoes, skates, cleats or business/dress shoes to fit where you need it.

DOES ACUPUNCTURE HURT?
Acupuncture is the insertion of thin, sterile, disposable needles into specific points on the surface of the body. The needles are as thin as a human hair. When inserted, the sensation of the needle is minor and any discomfort lasts only a few seconds. Patients frequently experience deep relaxation or feeling energized after a treatment.
