We have found many of our osteoporotic patients as well as those with good bone strength are suffering from foot, leg and lower body instability, often with associated discomfort or pain.  In order to provide the best service to these people we fit custom arch supports, known as orthotics, in the office.  We adjust the feet first to make certain that they are in a proper functioning condition. Then we create a foam mould of the foot in a neutral weight bearing posture.  The mould is then sent to The Orthotic Group in Ontario and a custom form fitting orthotic is created using the most up to date technology available.

We feel that adjusting the foot prior to making the mould is extremely important.  Not adjusting the bones of the feet first is like putting a cast on a broken arm without setting the arm first.

We will make orthotics for anyone.  You do not need to be a patient for this service.

Orthotics are usually covered by insurance but we strongly advise you to check exactly what coverage you have.  If you need special referrals we can usually arrange for that to be done without any problems.
