There is a simple way to help reduce pain. Lots of foot clinics in Calgary and across the nation specialise in custom orthotics that can help.

Who benefits from orthotics?

Orthotics in Calgary, and other areas, can benefit those with foot pain. Athletes benefit from orthotics because they provide support and serve as shock absorbers as well. Orthotics can be made for specific sporting shoes such as: ski boots, jogging shoes, hiking boots, skates, golf shoes, and trainers. Orthotics can be made to fit dress shoes and everyday shoes. Those working towards weight loss or who are recovering from different surgeries may also benefit from orthotics.

What are orthotics?

Orthotics are shoe inserts that are made to correct irregular and abnormal jogging patterns. Orthotics are over arch supports. They slightly adjust the angle the foot strikes a surface while jogging or jogging. This makes standing, jogging, and jogging more comfortable. Orthotics minimize the stress on the foot that could cause deformities and pain.

There are a variety of conditions that affect muscle power. Any imbalance of muscle power to the foot, ankle, knee and hip will alter the resting position of the joint.  The change in joint position will make walking difficult and result in pain.  Legs Supports (Splints) and Foot Orthotics (Insoles) will prevent or reduce the change in joint alignment and enhance balance, walking pattern and reduce muscle strain.  There are a variety of types of Leg Supports (Splints), Foot Orthotics (Arch Supports), Knee and Ankle Supports available and they can be modular or custom made.  The type of Orthotic device you are prescribed depends on the severity of the symptom and a biomechanical assessment is required in order for you to be prescribed the most suitable Orthotic support.
