Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are medical devices prescribed by a Chiropodist in order to support and align the feet, thereby helping to correct the individual’s unique biomechanical issues, foot pain, and improve overall mobility.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Orthotics are designed to restore your foot to its ideal position, enabling the muscles to work more efficiently. This reduces stress on the ligaments and tendons and keeps joints congruent. This process of offloading high pressure areas benefits the wearer by reducing arthritic pain, joint pain, and many other types of foot pain. Custom orthotics can be used to correct existing foot conditions, prevent existing conditions from progressing, and inhibit new conditions from developing.
High quality orthotics are manufactured based on a unique individual impression of the foot that is taken using a 3D laser or plaster. This impression captures the foot in its natural position, allowing the Chiropodist to ensure the orthotics are designed to address the biomechanical and structural problems that are distinctive to your feet. Orthotics should always be prescribed and dispensed by an Ontario licensed foot specialist such as a Chiropodist.

Why Choose Custom Orthotics?
Custom made orthotics aren’t just for runners or people with severe foot issues. Anyone with foot pain or discomfort can benefit from orthotics. This pain may be caused by an imbalance, change in the foot structure, or injury. Further, people who walk or stand excessively at their workplace or people with a family history of foot problems can benefit, even if they don’t have any existing conditions.
Orthotic inserts are custom-made to the exact specifications prescribed by your chiropodist. They provide a custom fit and are comfortable to wear in your regular shoes, meaning you don’t have to worry about buying orthotic footwear.
Custom orthotics are also manufactured to last longer, reducing the waste caused by lower-quality over-the-counter options that have to be replaced more frequently.
