Oak Park Family chiropractic provides a wide selection of orthotics to Jacana residents and the surrounding communities.
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. Having issues with your lower limbs and foot can impact your spine’s health, which can affect your whole body. For residents in Jacana, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. We ask you to consider these 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.
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 alleviates pain throughout the feet, 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. It is important to ensure that your orthotics do not make the shoe tighter than necessary.
Orthotics can be made specifically to fit your feet based on detailed measurements and analysis. They will provide the most appropriate support for your needs. In contrast, over-the-counter orthotics are mass-produced and often do not provide a perfect fit. These orthotics may still be beneficial, but they’re unlikely to offer the same benefits as custom orthotics.
The amount of time that your orthotics last depends on how much you use them and what activities you do. If they are well cared for, orthotics can last between 5 and 10 years. 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.There are many styles available, including full-length and half-length orthotics, narrow orthotics for shoes with narrower, lower, or open toes, as well as sports orthotics for exercise and other physical activities.
In some cases, orthotics provide relief for back pain. If the pain is caused by poor posture or alignment, orthotics can address these issues and provide support.
Each person’s conditions will dictate the length of time that your orthotics should be worn. However, in general, if you are prescribed orthotics, it is recommended that you wear them as long as needed 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.
