Our physiatry clinics consist of a physiatrist and a certified orthotist or certified pedorthist. The clinics focus on ongoing rehabilitative conditions such as diabetes, plantar fasciitis, Charcot- Marie-Tooth Disease, and other conditions.
The physician can review concerns with you and call in a clinician to assist in determining the proper bracing or foot orthotic for the related assessment. An immediate referral can be made if the doctor writes a prescription for a device.
