Orthotics

Custom Orthotics in Thornhill, ON

A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. Orthotics look like insoles but are custom designed for your feet. Custom orthotics help to stabilize your feet and improve your proprioception.

Studies estimate that somewhere in the region of 50 percent of all Canadians suffer from some sort of foot pain. Feet that are incorrectly aligned can cause other parts of your body to compensate, increasing stress and pain in these areas. These are known as biomechanical issues and can be corrected through custom orthotics.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are specially engineered inserts that are placed inside your shoes and are designed in such a way that they help to correct any misalignment, provide extra support and help the foot to move in a normal manner while you walk. In addition to helping correct foot dysfunction, they can also help to treat injuries that result from the overuse of various muscles, tendons and ligaments, which are common amongst serious sports enthusiasts.

How Do They Work?

It’s important to stress that custom orthotics are not a cure for the problems that are naturally occurring within your feet. If the natural shape of your feet lead to biomechanical dysfunction, the muscles and joints in your lower body have to compensate for this natural imbalance. This in turn increases the pressure on these joints and muscles. Custom orthotics will not permanently cure this issue, just as a hearing aid does not permanently cure a hearing problem. They work by compensating for this naturally occurring fault that your feet possess, providing the right conditions for optimal biomechanics. This means that when you do walk or run, the position of your feet and ankles are correct and no extra stress is placed on other parts of your body. Biomechanical dysfunction can lead to a wide range of problems including muscle pains and aches, foot pain, knee pain and chronic back pain. If you are experiencing any of these issues, contact our team of professionals in Thornhill. We can advise you whether custom orthotics are the best treatment option for your situation.

  • Localized Foot Pain
