Custom
Orthotics
We are proud to offer custom foot orthotic evaluation as a service at Smoky Mountain Sports Medicine & Physical Therapy. Ben Rickert, PT, has several years of experience with performing orthotic evaluations in addition to working with a company to create a custom fit for the patient. The one-hour evaluation process involves detailed and comprehensive analysis of the biomechanics of the feet using precise measurements and video gait analysis. Clinical findings are utilized to design a pair of one-of-a-kind orthotics specific to each individual.
