Oak Park Family Chiropractic offers a wide range of orthotics to residents in Airport West & surrounding areas.
Our Chiropractors employ Foot levellers, a high-tech computerised system that diagnoses foot problems and, if necessary, prescribes custom-made orthotics.
Many times, if not all, we take advantage of the comfort our feet brings until we experienced issues with it. Foot and lower limb conditions can affect your spinal health which can in turn affect the rest of your body. For residents in Airport West, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. We ask you to consider these questions:
If the answer to any questions is “Yes”, then its time to try our FREE foot assessment and our Foot Levelers 3D digital scanner to determine if orthotic therapy would be beneficial to your feet. Insoles purchased off-the-shelf are not tailored to your needs. You would not wear someone else glasses, so why would you put something under your feet that has not been designed specifically for you?
Like our eyewear, insoles must be customised. Therefore offering the best possible support and relief from the symptoms and conditions mentioned above is something you will benefit from.Orthotics can support your the foot, legs knees, hips, and back. Orthotics can support you to improve and maintain your posture.
Your healthcare provider may recommend orthotics if you have Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or runners knee. If you have pain in your feet, ankles or legs, you should talk to a professional.
Although orthotics can technically be put in any shoe, it all depends on how fit and comfortable they are. Many people find that shoes with a higher heel counter (the part that comes up around your ankle) work better with orthotics, as they keep the orthotics in place. Also, remember to keep your orthotics in mind before using a show. As it can make it too tight to wear causing more problems.
Custom orthotics are made to fit your feet precisely, based on detailed measurements and analysis of your foot structure and gait. This ensures that they provide the optimal support for your individual needs. Over-the-counter orthotics, on the other hand, are mass-produced and may not be a good fit. These orthotics may still be beneficial, but they’re unlikely to offer the same benefits as custom orthotics.
Your orthotics’ lifespan will vary from one person to another. It depends on how frequently you wear them, and what type of activities you engage in. Orthotics can last as long as 10 years if properly maintained. Over time, the top cover can begin to wear down and will need replacing before the orthotics.
There are many styles and types of orthotics that you can choose from, depending on your preferences.You can choose from full and half-length orthotics or slim orthotics to fit your narrower, lower, or more open shoes. Sports orthotics are also available for you to use while exercising or doing physical activity.
Orthotics may aid in relieving back pain. If the pain is caused by poor posture or alignment, orthotics can address these issues and provide support.
Each individual’s situation will determine how long you need to wear your orthotics. It is best to wear orthotics for as long as you need to get the desired result. It could last forever or for a shorter time, depending on your condition.
