Oak Park Family Chiropractor provides a various orthotics to Pascoe Vale residents & the surrounding areas.
Our Chiropractors use Foot Levelers, which is a high-tech computerised foot analysis system that can diagnose and prescribe orthotics if needed.
Sometimes, if not most of the time, we take our feet for granted until problems arise. Your spinal health can be affected by foot and lower limb problems. This can have an impact on your entire body. For residents in Pascoe Vale, orthotics services are readily available to address these issues. We ask you to consider these questions:
If your answer to any of these questions is a “Yes,” then take advantage of our FREE foot assessment and Scan on the Foot Levelers 3D digital foot scanner to see if you would benefit from orthotic therapy. The insoles you get off the shelves are not made to order. You wouldn’t wear glasses from another person, so why put insoles not made for you?
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 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.
Orthotics could technically be placed in any shoe. However, the comfort of orthotics will depend on their type and fit. People find orthotics more comfortable in shoes with a higher heel counter. You also want to ensure that the orthotics don’t make the shoe too tight; if they do, they can cause more problems.
Orthotics can be made specifically to fit your feet based on detailed measurements and analysis. This ensures that they provide the optimal support for your individual needs. Over-the-counter orthotics, on the other hand, are mass-produced and may not be a good fit. These orthotics may still be beneficial, but they’re unlikely to offer the same benefits 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. Orthotics can last as long as 10 years if properly maintained. 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.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 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 person’s conditions will dictate the length of time that your orthotics should be worn. In general, orthotics should be worn for as long or as is necessary to achieve the desired effects. It may take forever, but it might be shorter depending on your specific needs.
