Foot Orthotics

Custom foot orthotic insoles

Your feet are small, yet they support the full height and weight of your body. And they can cause big problems.

Each step you take involves an intricate network of bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. That complexity, combined with all the weight they carry, is why feet are so prone to problems, including bone fractures, arthritis, plantar fasciitis and other painful conditions.

If left untreated, foot problems may get worse. Eventually, the pain could get in the way of even basic things like walking upstairs or down the street.

If pain changes the way you walk, it can lead to pain in your knees, hips and back too. These problems can build up, limiting your activity and affecting your quality of life.

The good news is that most foot disorders can be treated with foot pain physiotherapy and, often, foot orthotics.

Custom Orthotic Inserts

After a thorough initial evaluation, foot orthoses may be an appropriate treatment. Foot orthoses (commonly called orthotics) can help in several ways.

How Foot Orthoses Can Help With Foot Pain

  • They can bring the foot and ankle into better alignment.
  • They can help the foot spread stress better while walking or running.
  • They can cushion and support hypomobile (stiff or rigid) parts of the foot.
  • They can stabilize areas of the foot that may be hypermobile (have too much movement).
  • They can help redistribute forces on the foot and ankle to ease pain.
