Adam Philps

I spend a great deal of time with people with arthritis, birth variations such as clubfoot, and common problems such as heel pain. Working closely with my Orthopedic surgeon colleagues, I manufacture orthoses, modify shoes and offer advise to help rehabilitate or improve the quality of life for my patients.
