Most consultations take about 40 minutes to an hour.

The initial consultation is NIS 180. After that, the cost depends on your specific needs. We will discuss the course of treatment and then you will be able to decide whether to continue.

Probably not. The Kupot use a michraz system, in which the lowest bidder gets the job. That means that they will usually cover only standard orthotics, which are made with minimal biomechanical assessment or customization and use sponge box molding that often casts the foot in the incorrect position. To make our orthotics, we use video gait analysis, plaster cast molding, full-body assessments, and specially-imported semi-rigid thermoplastic that supports your foot in its CORRECT neutral position.

Allow a couple of weeks to get used to the orthotics. After that, the healing time depends on the injury. For example, ligaments and tendons have a relatively poor blood supply and so it can take up to six weeks to start feeling an improvement.

We use a highly-durable thermoplastic material that can remain effective for over ten years.

I have treated soldiers from all branches of the military, including Matkal 13 and other Special Forces units. When you are pushing your body intensively, any underlying issues can strongly increase the likelihood of injury. At my clinic, all soldiers and young people about to begin their service automatically receive a 10% discount on orthotics.

Yes! Using video analysis of your riding, I can help you adjust your body and foot position for long-term health and comfort.

Yes, I also treat corns, ingrown toenails, and symptoms related to diabetes.

Foot problems can often cause patella tracking disorders, which is when the kneecap shifts, causing pain and long-term wear and tear. Orthotics fix the foot positioning that causes the underlying problems with patella tracking.

• Plantar fasciitis (Dorban)

• Achilles tendonitis

• Morton’s neuroma

• Bunions

• Shin splints

• Runner’s knee

• Tendonitis in the lower limbs

• Lower back pain

• Hip pain

In many countries, floors are primarily made of wood, often carpeted, and have an additional layer underneath. These are called sprung floors. In Israel, most floors are concrete with tile on top. Walking on hard surfaces like this all day, every day intensifies any underlying biomechanical dysfunction.

The sponge box method of casting captures your foot in the incorrect position. That means the starting position of the orthotic insert will be incorrect. It is the equivalent of squinting and straining your eyes doing an eye exam. The glasses you’d get will only work if you continued to squint and strain.

The plaster cast method can only be used by a trained expert. It holds the foot in a correct neutral position for optimal efficiency and functionality.
