Custom Orthotics in Burlington

custom orthotics BurlingtonThe average person takes 8000 to 10,000 steps a day. That is a lot of strain and impact on our feet.

The foot and ankle are the foundation for the overall posture of the skeletal body. Abnormal foot mechanics cause stresses that can lead to numerous foot problems as well as leg, knee, hip and lower back pain. The arches of our feet are under constant strain, and are susceptible to imbalances and injuries.

Custom orthotics are specifically designed insoles to correct your foot imbalance. By bringing your feet into proper alignment, they also affect the alignment in your knees, hips, pelvis and lower back. They provide support, control, stability, absorb shock, and relieve pressure on uncomfortable or sore areas. They reduce pain and discomfort, as well as rebalancing your feet during activity.

Custom orthotics are made after a detailed assessment of your gait, running mechanics (if you are a runner) and foot position. Orthotics are only manufactured after a podiatrist has conducted a complete evaluation of your feet, ankles, and legs, so the orthotic can accommodate your unique foot structure and pathology.
