Oak Park Family chiropractic provides a wide selection of orthotics to Hadfield residents and the surrounding communities.
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 take our feet for granted until problems arise. Lower limb and foot problems can harm 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 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. The insoles you get off the shelves are not made to order. Getting sole liners off the shelf is not a good investment as they aren’t custom-made for your needs.
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. They aid in maintaining and improving your spine’s health and other parts 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. 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 allows them to address your specific needs. Over-the-counter orthotics on the other hand are mass-produced, and they often don’t provide benefit. 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 options for orthotics depending on your personal needs.This includes full and half-length orthotics, slim orthotics suitable for narrower, lower or open shoes and sports orthotics for use during exercise or physical activity.
Orthotics can alleviate back pain in some cases. Orthotics can correct bad posture or alignment to relieve pain 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 could last forever or for a shorter time, depending on your condition.
