The goal of orthotic therapy is to control abnormal foot mechanics which can lead to overuse injuries such as plantar fasciitis and tendonitis, as well as structural deformities such as bunions or hammertoes.  When an over-the-counter orthotic, commonly called an “arch support”, does not provide relief, a custom orthotic may be recommended.

Custom orthotics are casted personally by Dr. Saam in our office.  Our preferred orthotic laboratory is Northwest Podiatric Laboratory, Inc., located here in Washington State, which is a leader in engineering the thinnest, lightest, and strongest graphite orthotics possible.  (Please visit their website at www.nwpodiatric.com for detailed information.)
