Many of our patients find that custom foot orthotics improve the pain and discomfort they feel.
Spending the day on your feet can cause a lot of discomfort. Whether you walk a lot for your job or you’re exploring a new place, you may find that by the end of the day, your feet are aching and ready for a break. Certain health conditions can also cause increased foot pain, such as diabetes, arthritis, and plantar fasciitis. Finding relief from your pain can feel impossible, but our team at York Foot Orthotics and Bracing is here to provide the solutions you need. One of our best solutions for a wide range of foot troubles is custom foot orthotics.
The human foot is a highly complex structure made up of hundreds of blood vessels, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as 26 bones. Your feet balance and support your body weight, but misalignment and alterations in the structure of your foot can impact your overall health. Custom foot orthotics fit inside your shoes and can correct alignment or balance issues, keeping your foot properly aligned when you’re standing, walking, or running.
Many of our patients find that custom foot orthotics improve the pain and discomfort they feel. However, orthotics benefit more than just the foot. They can also improve the positioning of other joints in your body, relieving the pain you might feel in your knees, ankles, and back. If you’re ready to take the next step, schedule a consultation with our experienced healthcare professionals. We’re conveniently located to help those in the Collingwood, Ontario area and can create your custom foot orthotics in-house so you can start using them sooner.

HIDDEN
What are some signs that I may benefit from custom foot orthotics?
You may want to consider custom foot orthotics if you experience foot pain and swelling during and after everyday activities like standing or walking, you have sharp heel pain when you wake up in the morning, you have foot pain because of flat feet or high arches, you have balance problems, or you have uneven wear on your shoes.
What are the differences between the three main types of orthotics?
There are three main types of custom orthotics. Functional orthotics are rigid. They are made from hard and durable materials that tend not to change shape, and they are meant to offer additional support to the foot while improving mobility. Accommodative orthotics are made of soft, cushioned materials that reduce the impact of standing and walking, as well as redistribute weight across the foot. Semi-rigid orthotics fall between the other two types, as they are made of both soft and rigid materials to provide cushioning and stability.
Do I need a prescription for custom foot orthotics?
Yes, you will need to obtain a prescription for custom foot orthotics, particularly if you are relying on your insurance to cover the cost, as most people do.
Do you offer a warranty?
We offer a two-year warranty. We care deeply about our patients and will see them as they need until they are pain-free. We will also redesign custom foot orthotics until the design is right for the patient.
