custom orthotics

Custom orthotics are customized shoe inserts that help individuals restore a healthy positioned foot in addition to proper biomechanics. Custom orthotics keep your feet stable and correct the imbalances that can cause injuries. Many conditions are healed and treated through designed orthotics. There are three main categories in which custom orthotics are necessary:

  • Disease process: affects one or both feet when a significant deformity within the bones is caused by arthritis
  • Traumatic injury: the injury of one or both lower limbs caused by a car accident
  • Congenital deformity: structural deformity present since birth. Example can include someone born with a missed or deformed limb.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics in Oakville

Many shoes on the market are designed to fit the “average” person. However, your feet may not be supported adequately because of the unadjusted insoles of your shoes. Every individual has unique feet and varies in posture, size and shape. Therefore, purchasing custom foot orthotics not only helps with comfort reasons but correct any abnormal biomechanics of the foot. As biomechanics of your feet improve, pain decreases substantially.

The Mechanics of your Pain

Excessive pronation or excessive supinations of the foot are main reasons to poor biomechanics. Pronation refers to the flattening motion of your arch while standing or walking. These motions commonly cause tension and worsen pain if you wear uncomfortable shoes. Custom foot orthotics helps correct these biomechanical tensions and helps to reduce your painful symptoms. Reducing pronation is the key to less pain and our custom orthotics Oakville clinic helps to provide that.

Who can Benefit from custom foot orthotics?

Custom foot orthotics can benefit anyone regardless of their occupational background, elderly, children, athletes or any individuals in pain. These shoe inserts help relieve any pain and/or prevent pain and soreness that may affect different parts of the body. The proper support can make all the difference in the world!
