Why Foot Health Matters
Your feet can influence the alignment and movement of your ankles, knees, hips, and spine. Poor foot mechanics can contribute to postural imbalances, discomfort, and movement concerns, which makes providing appropriate support to help improve biomechanics a critical part of a whole-body approach to care.
What Are Custom Foot Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are individually designed inserts made to suit your unique feet and biomechanics. Unlike standard over-the-counter insoles, they are created using information gathered through a detailed assessment and digital scanning technology.
Advanced Digital Assessment Technology
Our clinics use advanced ProCAST and GaitScan technology to support detailed biomechanical assessments. GaitScan uses dynamic scanning and pressure mapping to analyze plantar pressure distribution and foot function while you walk, helping practitioners identify areas of imbalance.
The digital process provides detailed information that can assist with assessing biomechanics and creating an individualized orthotic prescription, without relying on traditional plaster casting.
Who Can Benefit from Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics may be appropriate for children with developing foot or postural concerns, active individuals and athletes, adults who spend extended periods standing or walking, and seniors seeking additional support and stability. They may also be helpful for people experiencing foot discomfort or alignment-related knee, hip, or lower-back concerns.
Part of a Whole-body Treatment Approach
We look beyond individual symptoms to consider how your feet function in relation to your posture and movement. When appropriate, orthotics may form part of a broader care plan that includes chiropractic care, exercises or other therapies.
Our Orthotic Assessment Process
Your assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation, digital foot scanning and gait analysis, and consideration of your posture and overall biomechanics. From there, custom orthotics can be designed around your individual needs, with follow-up support when required.
