Custom Made Orthotics

At Inlet Integrated Health Centre, we provide custom Orthotics designed to improve your comfort, posture, and overall musculoskeletal health. Whether you’re dealing with foot pain, alignment issues, or sports-related injuries, our personalized orthotic solutions can help support your feet and lower body, relieving discomfort and improving your quality of life.

​​

What are Orthotics?

Orthotics are custom-made devices designed to fit inside your shoes and provide support for your feet, ankles, and lower extremities. They are specifically crafted to address issues like misalignment, pressure points, and abnormal movement patterns. By redistributing pressure and aligning the body’s structure, orthotics help alleviate pain and prevent further injury.

Our clinic offers both custom orthotics and pre-made orthotics designed to provide personalized care based on your specific needs, whether you’re recovering from an injury, seeking relief from chronic pain, or aiming to enhance your athletic performance.

How Do Orthotics Work?

Orthotics are designed to correct or improve the function of the foot and lower body by:
 

  • Improving Foot Alignment: Orthotics help to correct improper foot posture or alignment issues, which can contribute to pain in the feet, knees, hips, and lower back.

  • Distributing Pressure: By redistributing pressure across the foot, orthotics help reduce strain on specific areas, preventing injuries and relieving discomfort.

  • Enhancing Stability and Support: Orthotics provide added support to the arch and heel, promoting better balance and reducing the risk of falls or injuries.

  • Absorbing Shock: High-quality orthotics absorb shock from walking or running, reducing the impact on joints and tissues.

  • Correcting Abnormal Gait: By improving foot function and posture, orthotics can help correct an abnormal gait or movement pattern that leads to pain or dysfunction.
     

Conditions Treated with Orthotics

Orthotics can be an effective solution for a wide range of conditions, including:
 

  • Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain): Orthotics can help alleviate pressure on the heel and the plantar fascia, reducing pain and inflammation.

  • Flat Feet (Pes Planus): Custom orthotics provide support for low or fallen arches, which can help reduce pain in the feet, knees, and lower back.

  • High Arches (Pes Cavus): High arches can lead to foot pain and instability. Orthotics can provide cushioning and help redistribute weight.

  • Overpronation: When the feet roll inward excessively, orthotics can help realign the feet and restore a more neutral gait.

  • Osteoarthritis: For individuals with joint pain caused by osteoarthritis, orthotics provide additional support and reduce pressure on the joints, easing pain and discomfort.

  • Shin Splints: Orthotics can help correct alignment issues and provide support for the muscles of the lower leg, reducing the pain associated with shin splints.

  • Knee Pain and Patellar Tracking Disorder: Orthotics can help correct improper foot alignment, which may contribute to knee pain or conditions like patellar tracking disorder.

  • Sports Injuries: Athletes may benefit from orthotics to prevent overuse injuries, enhance performance, and improve foot and lower limb function.

  • Diabetic Foot Issues: For individuals with diabetes, orthotics can reduce the risk of ulcers, improve comfort, and support overall foot health.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics

  • Personalized Comfort and Support: Custom orthotics are designed specifically for your feet, providing the most effective support and comfort.

  • Pain Relief: By addressing the root causes of foot, knee, and lower back pain, orthotics can significantly reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

  • Injury Prevention: Proper foot alignment and support reduce the risk of overuse injuries and prevent new injuries from occurring.

  • Improved Posture and Alignment: Orthotics can help restore proper alignment in the feet, which can have a positive impact on posture, gait, and overall body mechanics.

  • Long-Lasting Results: Custom orthotics are durable and designed to last, providing ongoing support for your feet and lower extremities.
