Oak Park Family Chiropractic offers a wide variety of orthotics for residents in Niddrie and 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 Niddrie, 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 alleviates pain throughout the feet, legs, knees, hips, and back. Orthotics can support you to improve and maintain your posture.
Your healthcare practitioner may prescribe orthotics to you if you have the following condition: plantar faciitis, Achilles tendonitis or runner’s leg. However, even if you don’t have a specific diagnosis, but experiencing pain in your feet, ankles, or legs, then you should consult with a professional about whether orthotics is right for you.
Orthotics could technically be placed in any shoe. However, the comfort of orthotics will depend on their type and fit. Many people find that shoes with a higher heel counter (the part that comes up around your ankle) work better with orthotics, as they keep the orthotics in place. Orthotics should not be too tight. This can lead to more problems.
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. They may still have some benefits but they are not as supportive as custom orthotics.
The length of time your orthotics will last varies from person to person and depends on how often you wear them and the type of activity you do. If properly maintained, orthotics can last up to 10 years. The orthotics may need to have their top covers replaced as they can wear over time.
There are many styles and types of orthotics that you can choose from, depending on your preferences.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.
Orthotics may aid in relieving back pain. Orthotics can correct bad posture or alignment to relieve pain and provide support.
The length of time you will need to wear your orthotics depends on each person’s situation. However, in general, if you are prescribed orthotics, it is recommended that you wear them as long as needed to achieve the desired effect. It may take forever, but it might be shorter depending on your specific needs.
