You’re Not Alone, and You Have Options

Most burns heal with proper care, and scarring can often be minimized significantly with early, expert attention.

Second- and third-degree burns that don’t require ICU-level care still need careful ongoing wound management. At Ironworks, we provide follow-up burn care with a focus on preventing infection, optimizing healing, and minimizing scarring. For major burns or any burn involving the face, hands, feet, genitals, or a large body area, go to the nearest emergency room first.

Why Choose Ironworks

Custom orthotics made right require a physical exam, gait analysis, and a doctor who understands the underlying biomechanics, not just a casting kit and a form. At Ironworks, every orthotic is prescribed based on a comprehensive evaluation, not a checkbox order.

In-office video and pressure-mat gait analysis before casting

Casting or 3D scanning performed by your doctor, not a technician

Free adjustments during the first 30 days to dial in fit and function

Many insurance plans provide partial or full coverage for medically necessary orthotics

Orthotics matched to your footwear: running shoes, work boots, dress shoes, or sandals

Ongoing assessments to update orthotics as your activity or foot shape changes
