3 Must-Know Facts About Custom Made Orthotics from Thornhill’s orthotics source

There are a large number of people in Thornhill, the rest of Canada and indeed the world that suffer (often unknowingly) from some kind of biomechanical condition. By this, we are referring to the way that they walk, run and move in general. These issues can throw the body out of sync, causing it to compensate, which can lead to various physical ailments that range from chronic foot pain to knee problems and, in some cases, back pain. The best way to treat these problems is often with Custom Made Orthotics.

What You Need to Know About Custom Made Orthotics

Custom Made Orthotics are misunderstood by many people and it’s vital that you do some research before you go ahead and make a purchase. In particular, some of the most important facts that you need to know are:

  • They are a Biomechanical Aid – Not sure what they are? They are quite simply a set of specially designed inserts for your footwear that are custom made specifically for your feet. Once in your shoes, they will automatically correct or modify the alignment of your feet, which could be causing pain at present. The correct alignment of your lower limbs (feet, legs and joints), reduces any stress being placed on these body parts.
  • Not Everyone Needs Them– Some companies that sell these products claim that every single person needs Custom Made Orthotics, but that’s not true. They are generally used to aid recovery from injury or correct biomechanical issues, and you should always get assessed by a healthcare professional before investing in Custom Made Orthotics. Sometimes there are other treatment options for your problem, such as Registered Massage Therapy or sessions with a Chiropractor.
  • You May Need Multiple Sets – Our healthcare practitioners commonly get asked about whether Custom Made Orthotics can be transferred between different types of footwear. While the same set can be used across similar shoe types, if you’re planning on wearing several different types of footwear, you will need multiple sets of Custom Made Orthotics to compensate for the difference in the shoe styles. For example, dress shoes are much tighter fitting than trainers.

Before taking action, consult with our healthcare practitioners. We’re not here to sell you something that you don’t need and will assess your needs by finding the root cause of the pain you’re experiencing, before telling you whether Custom Made Orthotics are the best option.
