QUALITY CARE IN OTTAWA
Think of how much time you spend on your feet daily. Whether your job requires you to be on your feet all day, chasing after your kids, or trying to stay physically fit with exercise, we put a lot of pressure and stress on our feet.
And how do we repay our hard-working feet? Often, flip flops, high heels, and unsupportive/poorly fitted everyday shoes do nothing for our already aching feet.
If you’re struggling with chronic arch pain, heel pain, or just general aches in your feet, you could benefit from custom orthotics.
Custom orthotics are inserts that go in your shoe and help realign your ankles and provide your feet with the support they need. Custom orthotics are different from the inserts you’ll find in the aisles of your local drugstore. Custom orthotics are designed to address your concerns and perfectly fit your foot. You’ll quickly notice a difference in support if you switch from a generic brand to a custom orthotic.
If you think you could benefit from a custom orthotic to help reduce foot pain, A Plus Physiotherapy and Wellness Centre offers top-of-the-line custom orthotics in Ottawa.
would you benefit from custom orthotics?
If you experience one or more of these symptoms,
you may be a good candidate for custom orthotics, you’ll likely have one or more of the following:
foot deformities
poorly functioning ankles
extreme foot pain in arches and/or heels
pain in lower back and/or legs
Before getting fitted for a custom orthotic, we will go over your history to see if a generic insole has been previously tested and whether or not you have other concerns that need to be addressed, like mobility issues. In the case of mobility issues, we provide the best team of osteopaths in Ottawa to help assist with your treatment.
benefits of custom orthotics
reduced foot pain
Not surprisingly, with a custom orthotic, you’ll find a significant reduction in foot pain. Because custom orthotics are made specifically for you, we can pinpoint where exactly you require more support and create an insole that makes you feel like you’re walking in clouds.
improved posture
Believe it or not, investing in custom orthotics can greatly improve your posture. Not only because the lack of pain encourages you to stand taller, but also because of your physiology. When your feet are aligned correctly and properly supported, you’ll naturally start to stand taller without even trying.
less lower back pain
While you might not initially connect your foot pain to your back pain, if you’re not wearing shoes with enough support, you’ll notice that your lower back starts to hurt. We can create the support exactly where you need it to reduce back pain with custom orthotics.
