Our Chiropractors utilise Foot Levelers, a high tech computerised foot analysis system which can diagnose problems with your feet and if necessary, prescribe custom-made orthotics.
Sometimes, if not most of the time, we tend to take our feet for granted until problems develop. Having issues with your lower limbs and foot can impact your spine’s health, which can affect your whole body. For residents in Broadmeadows, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. We recommend that you ask yourself the following questions:
If you have answered yes to any of the above questions, take advantage now of our FREE Foot Assessment and Foot Levelers 3D Digital Foot Scanning to find out if orthotic therapy might be the appropriate procedure for you. Insoles purchased off-the-shelf are not tailored to your needs. Getting sole liners off the shelf is not a good investment as they aren’t custom-made for your needs.
Like glasses, our insoles are custom-made from a specific prescription. Therefore offering the best possible support and relief from the symptoms and conditions mentioned above is something you will benefit from.Orthotics can assist to relieve pain in the feet legs, hips, knees, hips and back. They can dramatically improve and maintain a healthy posture for your spine and the rest of your body.
Your healthcare provider may recommend orthotics if you have Achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, or runners knee. Even if you don’t have these conditions, your healthcare provider can still recommend orthotics, especially if you feel pain in your feet or ankles.
Although orthotics can technically be put in any shoe, it all depends on how fit and comfortable they are. Shoes with a higher heel count (the part that goes up around your ankle) fit well with orthotics. It is important to ensure that your orthotics do not make the shoe tighter than necessary.
Your orthotics are custom-made to fit your feet. This is done based on precise measurements and analysis of the foot structure and gait. They can provide the best support possible for you. In contrast, over-the-counter orthotics are mass-produced and often do not provide a perfect fit. These orthotics may still be beneficial, but they’re unlikely to offer the same benefits as custom orthotics.
The amount of time that your orthotics last depends on how much you use them and what activities you do. Orthotics can last as long as 10 years if properly maintained. The top cover will eventually wear out and need to change before the orthotics can be replaced.
There are many styles and types of orthotics that you can choose from, depending on your preferences.There are many styles available, including full-length and half-length orthotics, narrow orthotics for shoes with narrower, lower, or open toes, as well as sports orthotics for exercise and other physical activities.
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 person will have a different need for orthotics, thus it depends. In general, orthotics should be worn for as long or as is necessary to achieve the desired effects. It may take forever, but it might be shorter depending on your specific needs.
