Oak Park Family Chiropractic offers a wide variety of orthotics for residents in Coburg and surrounding areas.
Our Chiropractors use foot levellers, a high technology computerised foot analysis tool which can diagnose issues with your feet, and prescribe orthotics if necessary.
Sometimes, if not most of the time, we tend to take our feet for granted until problems develop. Your spinal health can be affected by foot and lower limb problems. This can have an impact on your entire body. For residents in Coburg, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. These are the questions you need to ask yourself.:
If your answer to any of these questions is a “Yes,” then take advantage of our FREE foot assessment and Scan on the Foot Levelers 3D digital foot scanner to see if you would benefit from orthotic therapy. Insoles that you buy off the shelf are not custom made. You would not wear someone else glasses, so why would you put something under your feet that has not been designed specifically for you?
Just like glasses, insoles are tailored to fit a particular prescription. Therefore offering the best possible support and relief from the symptoms and conditions mentioned above is something you will benefit from.Orthotics reduce pain in the feet and legs, as well as the back. They can dramatically improve and maintain a healthy posture for your spine and the rest of your body.
Your healthcare practitioner may prescribe orthotics to you if you have the following condition: plantar faciitis, Achilles tendonitis or runner’s leg. If you have pain in your feet, ankles or legs, you should talk to a professional.
Orthotics could technically be placed in any shoe. However, the comfort of orthotics will depend on their type and fit. Orthotics work best in shoes that have a higher heel counter. Orthotics should not be too tight. This can lead to more problems.
Orthotics can be made specifically to fit your feet based on detailed measurements and analysis. 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.
The life expectancy of your orthotics varies depending on how often they are worn and what kind of activities you engage in. Orthotics can last for anywhere up to 10 years if they are properly cared for. The orthotics may need to have their top covers replaced as they can wear over time.
There are many different types of orthotics, each with its specifications.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 person will have a different need for orthotics, thus it depends. If you have been prescribed orthotics, you should wear them for as long and as necessary to achieve the desired effect. This could be forever, or it could be for a shorter time depending on your circumstances.
