Oak Park Family Chiropractic offers a wide variety of orthotics for residents in Hadfield and 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 Hadfield, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. These are the questions you need to ask yourself.:
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 wouldn’t wear glasses from another person, so why put insoles not made 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.
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.
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 will provide the most appropriate support for your needs. Over-the counter orthotics are often mass-produced and do not always support your feet’s needs. 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 for anywhere up to 10 years if they are properly cared for. The top cover will eventually wear out and need to change before the orthotics can be replaced.
There are many different types of orthotics, each with its specifications.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 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. If you have been prescribed orthotics, you should wear them for as long and as necessary to achieve the desired effect. You may need to wear them for an extended period, or you might only need them for a short time. It all depends on your particular situation.
