Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body and support you with each step. A small abnormality in your foot function can have a large impact on joints higher up in the body, causing pain and discomfort.
Prescription orthotics are biomechanical appliances that are custom molded to correct your specific foot imbalances.
Orthotics work on the feet in the same way that braces work on the teeth– by gently exerting consistent pressure to bring the foot muscles, ligaments and bones back into proper alignment.
Our orthotics are made of custom molded, flexible, carbon-fibre reinforced thermoplastic.
The “GaitScan” system is a computerized diagnostic imaging system that records timing sequences as you walk and stand on a pressure plate. This allows us to have a clear picture of your foot mechanics to determine whether you would benefit from wearing custom made foot orthotics.
A detailed biomechanical report and prescription for orthotics will be provided to you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
· check with your extended health care insurance for orthotics coverage · See your medical doctor- many insurance companies require a prescription from your MD prior to submitting a claim. · Make an appointment with our office.
