Pedorthics

As a Board Certified Pedorthist, Dr. Stutz specializes in the treatment of foot, ankle, and knee conditions through the use of custom foot orthotics and shoe modifications.  Pedorthists differ from podiatrists in that they design and modify custom foot orthotics themselves, rather than simply sending a prescription to a lab.  Therefore, the devices that Dr. Stutz designs can be modified in house to ensure a perfect fit.  Dr. Stutz’ extensive training in the areas of anatomy, bio-mechanics, and pathophysiology combines to uniquely qualify him to design truly custom orthotics based on the physical characteristics, shoe style, and lifestyle of the individual. By using cutting edge casting techniques and creative modifications, many of which Dr. Stutz personally invented, his treatment of lower extremity conditions with custom foot orthotics is unparalleled.
Conditions successfully treated by Dr. Stutz include:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Metatarsalgia
  • Hammer toe symptoms
  • Osteoarthritis pain
  • Runners knee
  • Shin splints
  • Foot/ankle sprains
  • Morton’s neuroma
  • Achilles tendinitis
  • Bunions
  • Meniscal pain
  • Foot cramping

Dr. Stutz designs truly custom foot orthotics based on individual patient characteristics.

Dr. Stutz can internally modify any women’s dress shoe without changing its appearance to provide more support, better comfort, and a customized fit.
