Oak Park Family Chiropractor provides a various orthotics to Essendon residents & the 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 take our feet for granted until problems arise. Having issues with your lower limbs and foot can impact your spine’s health, which can affect your whole body. For residents in Essendon, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. We recommend that you ask yourself the following questions:
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then claim your FREE foot scan on the Foot Levelers digital scanner. This will determine if orthotic therapy is right for you. 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?
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 alleviates pain throughout the feet, legs, knees, hips, and back. They can dramatically improve and maintain a healthy posture for your spine and the rest of your body.
Orthotics may be prescribed by your healthcare provider if you have a condition like plantar fasciitis or Achilles tendonitis. 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. Shoes with a higher heel count (the part that goes up around your ankle) fit well with orthotics. You also want to ensure that the orthotics don’t make the shoe too tight; if they do, they can cause more problems.
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. Over-the counter orthotics are often mass-produced and do not always support your feet’s needs. Although they can still provide some benefits, they are unlikely to be as helpful 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 for anywhere up to 10 years if they are properly cared for. The top cover may start to wear out over time and will need to be replaced before the orthotics themselves need to be replaced.
There are different styles of orthotics available, depending on your individual needs.These include orthotics that are full or half-length, orthotics that can be worn with closed shoes, and orthotics that can be used during exercise and physical activity.
Orthotics can alleviate back pain in some cases. Orthotics are useful for correcting poor posture and alignment. They can also provide support for the spine and body.
The length of time you will need to wear your orthotics depends on each person’s situation. 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.
