Custom Orthotics East York
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that provide support, enhance foot alignment, and alleviate pain caused by conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, heel pain, and bunions.
Custom orthotics in East York adjust the pressure exerted on your feet while standing, walking, or running. The design of these inserts changes how force is distributed, helping to reduce pain and maintain proper alignment.
How Can Custom Orthotics Benefit You?
Anyone experiencing foot pain or discomfort, from children to adults of all ages, can benefit from orthotics. They can help by:
- Providing support and stability for the feet, which helps reduce strain on muscles and joints.
- Improving gait mechanics.
- Accommodating for biomechanical abnormalities.
- Providing relief from pain and discomfort associated with calluses, corns, and bony areas on the feet.
- Slowing the progression of foot deformities and injuries.
- Redistributing pressure and offering extra cushioning where needed.
- Improving the way your shoes fit and feel, while reducing impact from walking or running.
- Helping relieve lower back pain linked to unequal leg lengths.
- Supporting children's foot development in a more natural, aligned position.
Our Approach to Custom Orthotics
At Step Right Foot Clinic, we don’t “sell” orthotics for East York residents. Instead, our podiatrist in Toronto assess each individual’s needs thoroughly and recommend orthotics only when we believe they will provide significant benefit.
Foot structure, how active you are, your footwear, and day-to-day lifestyle all affect the orthotic design. These details are assessed before options are discussed at your fitting.
Our current approach involves using Plaster of Paris to make a negative suspension cast, allowing us to obtain a 3D Anatomic Volumetric Foot Model. This method is widely regarded as the gold standard by the College of Chiropodists of Ontario.
Why Choose Our Clinic?
- Detailed assessment: Your orthotic prescription is based on a detailed biomechanical assessment that reviews your gait, foot structure, and any existing concerns.
- Expert craftsmanship: Our custom orthotics are made in collaboration with Paris Orthotics, a trusted Canadian lab with over 30 years of experience. Each orthotic is carefully crafted to suit your unique needs for maximum comfort and support.
- Customization and modifications: We know that no two feet are the same. That’s why we have a dedicated modification program, allowing us to make any necessary adjustments to deliver a comfortable fit.
