Custom Orthotics

WITH DR. SIMA PATEL, DR. ALISHA MCLELLAN & DR. SAMANTHA BURCHILL

When appropriate, our chiropractors may suggest and fit you for custom orthotics for your specific issue. Unlike over-the-counter inserts, custom orthotics are designed for your unique foot and health challenges. They will give you the stability you need to reduce stress and strain on your feet and joints from the ground up. While orthotics can be used for issues in the feet, such as bunions or plantar fasciitis, they can also be used to assist in the treatment in leg pain and low back pain.

Our chiropractors are trained to determine if you require an orthotic device. If there is a need for orthotics, our chiropractors will assess your foot structure and function, take a 3-D scan of your feet, an design an orthotic specific to your needs.

 

To learn more about custom orthotics, please contact us to make an appointment with one of our chiropractors.
