PAIN RELIEF, INJURY REPAIR, CORRECTION, AND PREVENTION, AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT FOR ATHLETES AND INDIVIDUALS OF ALL AGES
Our signature custom-made orthotics, aka “Every Foot and Ankle’s Secret Weapon”, are medical shoe inserts that support and gently reposition the heel, arch, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the feet. Orthotics enable the structures in the foot to work together as nature intended, making each step pain-free. Unlike over-the-counter shoe inserts, custom-made orthotics are created from non-weight bearing molds of your feet. These devices are designed to meet your specific needs and are typically made with comfortable materials that are very durable, and they can be designed to fit in any type of shoe.
In addition to relieving pain and reducing inflammation, custom orthotics help control alignment and function of the foot. This helps treat and prevent injuries caused by sharp or excessive movement during physical activity. Custom orthotics also help to make activities like running and walking more efficient by improving the structure of the foot.
An imbalance, or even the slightest biomechanical shift, can change your posture, affect your entire body, and cause you to feel pain in multiple areas along the kinetic chain. Misalignment causes strain. Strain causes pain. And it all begins with the feet.

How do they work?
Here’s a comparison that we use. Think about how eyeglasses and contact lenses work to correct the eye. They accommodate the deformity through a correction via the lens correction.
The orthotic is a device used to correct the foot and body posture through the molded impression and the insert that is made to fit into your shoe.
How does the process work?
1. During your initial visit you will undergo a complete and extensive examination while you are standing, walking, running, or playing your favorite sport.
2. Your doctor will take extensive measurements, x-rays of your foot and ankle, and make plaster molds of your feet to send to our laboratory who will make the final product.
3. We will schedule a follow up appointment to check your orthotics, and make sure that they fit and are working properly, and go over any questions that you might have.
We hope that you will join us and become part of the Dr. Lee S. Cohen and Associates community. We love making new friends. As a new patient, you will receive our newsletters and updates, appointment reminders, and are invited to join us on social media. As a welcome to our family, during you first visit, you’ll also receive one of our signature t-shirts and a draw string gym bag.
