Whether you’re struggling with chronic foot pain or just looking for better support, keep reading to see how custom orthotics might be the solution for you.
What are custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts uniquely fabricated to address specific foot conditions and provide individualized support. Unlike generic insoles, custom orthotics like the ones created by our Calgary Chiropractors, are based on precise measurements of your feet, considering factors like arch height. These custom-made solutions offer corrective comfort, enhancing your well-being.
What can orthotics help with?
Our feet are the foundation of our body, bearing the brunt of our daily activities. When there are imbalances or misalignments in our feet, it can lead to a cascade of issues affecting our knees, hips, back, and even posture.
Personalized foot support
- Exact contour matching: Custom orthotics are tailored to the exact contours of your feet, ensuring a precise fit.
- Even pressure distribution: They help distribute pressure evenly, reducing the risk of pressure sores and relieving stress on high-pressure areas.
- Stress reduction: Orthotics reduce stress on specific areas, whether you have flat feet or high arches. This targeted support can prevent further complications.
Correction of biomechanical imbalances
- Overpronation and supination: Orthotics correct overpronation (inward rolling) and supination (outward rolling). This stabilization prevents undue stress on ankles and joints.
- Neutral positioning: They guide your feet into a neutral position, improving posture and alignment. This reduces strain on knees, hips, and the lower back.
- Ankle stability: Enhanced ankle stability helps prevent related issues, such as sprains and other injuries.
Pain relief
- Cushioning and support: Custom orthotics cushion and support your feet, reducing pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, and sesamoiditis.
- Bunions and hammertoes relief: They provide cushioning and relieve pressure on bunions and hammertoes, preventing progression and reducing pain.
- Shin splints management: Orthotics reduce strain on lower leg muscles and enhance shock absorption, helping manage shin splints and preventing recurrence.
- Knee and hip stress reduction: By improving alignment, orthotics reduce stress on your knees and hips, potentially alleviating pain and enhancing mobility.
Custom orthotics offer a non-invasive, natural solution for improving foot health and can help with your overall well-being. They address specific needs, correct underlying issues, and provide lasting relief. Experience a more active and comfortable lifestyle with custom orthotics.
Getting the right fit
Our custom orthotic clinic in Calgary uses advanced techniques and technologies to create custom orthotics tailored to your unique needs.
3D-casted custom orthotics
We use a 3D casting technique to create custom orthotics that fit the shape and size of your feet. This provides maximum support and comfort, reducing pain and discomfort.
The biomechanical exam
Our 3D camera captures detailed images of your feet, but we also perform a biomechanical exam. This helps us identify any foot structure or function issues contributing to your pain.
Custom orthotic shoes
In addition to custom orthotics, we also offer custom orthotic shoes. These shoes are designed to provide additional support and comfort to your feet, helping you walk and stand with ease. We offer a wide variety of shoes, including Birkenstocks, Timberlands, and Sketchers!
At your custom orthotic appointment
To begin, schedule a consultation at our NW chiropractic clinic, Back to Motion. We will review your medical history, assess your pain and symptoms, and use advanced scanning technology to capture detailed images of your feet. These scans will guide the creation of your custom orthotics.
During your visit, our wellness team will discuss your options, costs, and assist with placing your order. Your orthotics will be custom-made from high-quality materials, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal support.
Before your appointment, check your insurance coverage:
- Do you need a doctor’s note?
- Can a chiropractor provide the prescription? Contact your insurance for details.
- What is your coverage limit?
If you have a Health Spending Account, your insurance company will often not require any of this additional information or paperwork.
Please note, orthotics cannot be directly billed.
