CMH therapy services to offer custom foot orthotics

Physical therapists are trained and certified in orthotic evaluation, fabrication and the custom fitting process. Orthotics are designed in an orthotic lab at CMH Outpatient Therapy located at the CMH Kerry and Synda Douglas Medical Center, 1155 W. Parkview St., Bolivar.

Orthotics help improve proper foot alignment and support. The physical therapists at CMH Outpatient Therapy are experts in musculoskeletal dysfunction and movement. During the evaluation, physical therapists work with patients to find the right orthotic for their symptoms. CMH uses the latest orthotic technology to ensure patients receive the best care and outcomes.
