Oak Park Family Chiropractor provides a various orthotics to Jacana residents & the surrounding areas.
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.
Many times, if not all, we take advantage of the comfort our feet brings until we experienced issues with it. Lower limb and foot problems can harm your spinal health, which can in turn affect the rest of your body. For residents in Jacana, 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. 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 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 support your the foot, legs knees, hips, and 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. 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.
Technically speaking, orthotics can be used in any shoe. But it depends on what type of shoe you use and how comfortable they are. Shoes with a higher heel count (the part that goes up around your ankle) fit well with orthotics. Orthotics should not be too tight. This can lead to 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. This allows them to address your specific needs. Over-the-counter orthotics, on the other hand, are mass-produced and may not be a good fit. While they may still offer some benefits, they are unlikely to be a good tool for your feet’s needs 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 will eventually wear out and need to change before the orthotics can be replaced.
There are many options for orthotics depending on your personal needs.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 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.
Each individual’s situation will determine how long you need to wear your orthotics. In general, orthotics should be worn for as long or as is necessary to achieve the desired effects. This could be forever, or it could be for a shorter time depending on your circumstances.
