Orthotics are special shoe or heel inserts a doctor prescribes that are custom-made specifically for you. A doctor may prescribe orthotics to treat foot, leg, or back problems.
Orthotics can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address various symptoms, usually having to do with pain and discomfort of the feet and legs. Some of the goals a doctor may have for orthotic treatment include:
- Correcting foot deformities
- Helping the foot or ankle function better
- Providing support to the ankle
- Reducing the risks for further injuries
Orthotics are more than just a heel pad or shoe insert you can buy at most athletic stores. They’re highly customized shoe or heel inserts made for your feet. Your doctor will only recommend an orthotic if an off-the-shelf device or other treatments, such as exercises at home, haven’t proven effective.

Patient Lifts
Manual Patient Lifts
Designed to assist in safely moving patients from one position or location within the home to another, manual patient lifts involve a hydraulic pump. The caregiver is required to use a hydraulic pump and sling to maneuver patient. These lifts are commonly referred to as Hoyer lifts, alluding to a name of some of the first lifts on the market.
Electric Patient Lifts
In similar fashion, electric patient lifts are often battery powered and provide the same benefits as a manual lift without the lifting. Relying instead on a battery powered solution, this style of patient lift is often most preferred by caregivers.
Stand-Up Patient Lifts
While traditional patient lifts typically rely on a four/six point sling and move a patient while in the sitting position, these standing lifts offer a different option. Patients that have some weight bearing capability or strength in their arms and legs can be assisted safely in to a standing position and moved from one position or location within the home to another.
Standing lifts are available in electric and manual, offering a wide array of options.
We offer products manufactured by Medline, Invacare, Drive, and others upon request.
While insurance coverage for these types of lift varies, Ridgeview Home Medical Equipment would be happy to work with you and your physician to help guide you towards the most appropriate solution.
Lift Chairs
Ridgeview Home Medical Equipment has a variety of Golden Technologies seat lift chairs on display in our showroom. If you’re just recovering from a surgery we also offer short-term rentals of our smaller, vinyl lift chairs.
Golden Technologies lift chairs are designed with a powerful lifting system, which allows the base and back of the chair to tilt forward. This movement gently guides the user back into a standing position. If you live with balance or mobility issues, this product can be extremely helpful. In addition to transitioning from sitting to standing, these products offer other great features as well. There are models that come with optional massage and heating settings. In addition to using your chair as an assistive device, it also serves as a way to relax and unwind.
