CUSTOM ORTHOTICS
Your feet are the foundation for your health. They carry your entire body weight. Making sure you have added support is very important to avoid or reduce pain and orthotics will provide you with this needed support. Orthotics help to return the foot to a more normal movement pattern by ensuring the right balance of muscles working in conjunction with each other.
Situations that require extra foot support:
- Chronic foot pain
- A fallen arch
- A job that requires standing for long periods
- Diabetes
It is extremely important that you make sure your orthotics are the right ones for your body. Generic, over-the-counter orthotics can actually make things worse. Oshawa Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Wellness Centre partners with orthotics provider, Footmaxx, to provide you with customized orthotics to support your individual needs.
