Custom orthotics are individualized inserts for your shoes that help to alleviate foot, knee, hip, or back pain. The orthotics are made from a cast mold of your foot which is sent to the lab where technicians fabricate the orthotics. Orthotics are designed to support the arch in the foot and distribute the weight evenly over the entire foot. This corrects the mal-alignment in the body and reduces the strain on the pain-sensitive soft-tissue. The physiotherapist will perform a gait analysis to assess your walking pattern and will look at the wear patterns of your current shoes when deciding the appropriate orthotics. Custom orthotics can last a couple of years, but foot mechanics change with age; therefore, an assessment of your feet and gait analysis should be done annually or when any new injury develops.
