Custom Made Orthotics
Custom-made orthotics are personalized and specially crafted insoles designed to provide individualized support and comfort for the feet. Unlike over-the-counter shoe inserts, custom orthotics are uniquely tailored to the specific contours of an individual's feet, offering a precise fit that addresses their unique biomechanical needs.
​
The process of obtaining custom-made orthotics involves a comprehensive assessment conducted by a Chiropractor. This assessment will include a thorough examination of the feet, biomechanical gait analysis, foam box impression moulding, and possibly imaging studies if required. The gathered information is then used to create the orthotics that are customized to the patient's foot shape, arch structure, and any specific foot or gait abnormalities.
The orthotics are made from various materials, such as foam, gel, or rigid composites, depending on the specific requirements of the individual. They are designed to be worn inside shoes to provide support, distribute pressure more evenly across the foot, and address issues such as overpronation, underpronation, or other biomechanical imbalances. Custom orthotics aim to alleviate foot pain, correct structural abnormalities, and improve overall foot function.
