ORTHOTICS

Orthotics are used to:

• Control and/or improve the function of the foot in order to alleviate symptoms
• Prevent or reduce abnormal weight bearing forces to reduce the risk of developing musculoskeletal deformities, lesions, and injury to vulnerable structures
• Correct the shape and/or function of the foot in order to provide easier movement capability
• Aid rehabilitation from acute injury

Orthotics for the foot are used to treat the following conditions:

• Overpronation (flat feet)
• Bunions
• Plantar fasciitis
• Achilles tendinopathies
• Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (shin splints)
• Ankle instabilities
• Arthritis
• Metatarsalgia
• Neuroma
• Lower back pain
• Knee pain

At our clinics, orthotics are prescribed after a careful assessment by either a chiropodist or chiropractor with special training in this area. Most extended healthcare benefit plans cover all or part of the cost of orthotics.
