A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are bio-mechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
Through a comprehensive functional and orthopaedic assessment, we gather a complete picture of ALL of the involved structures and barriers to your recovery.
Your pain may be similar to that of someone else, but each individual case is unique. Rehabilitation begins with an accurate diagnosis of the presenting injury pain/problem.
From there we utilize a multi-pronged approach to address all contributing components for a fast recovery and complete recovery, while also lowering and the risk of re-occurrence.
A complete assessment will take place looking at your chief complaint as well as overall body functioning to distinguish and diagnose the source of the problem.
This generally takes an hour and a half and involves a comprehensive history, various movement screens and orthopaedic and functional tests to diagnose and propose a plan of management for treatment. This will also include an initial treatment.
A 60 minute session involving various modalities to address and care for the condition diagnosed. This can include any or all of Electro-acupuncture, myofascial release, chiropractic adjustment, movement therapies, neuromuscular development and strengthening.
