Custom Orthotics in Ottawa
Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. Your feet are a complex system of 52 bones, 66 joints, 214 ligaments and 38 tendons. On average, a person takes approximately 8 000 - 10 000 steps in one day! A subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body and lead to more serious problems, such as:
- Foot pain
- Ankle pain
- Knee pain
- Hip pain
- Back pain
Left untreated, chronic pain can prevent you from leading the active lifestyle you desire.
Custom orthotic inserts from Dr. Taillefer or Dr. Schneider are custom molded to the support requirements of your feet. They can help restore the normal balance and alignment of your body by gently correcting foot abnormalities, thus helping to reduce pain and discomfort by enhancing your body's natural movements.
Dr. Taillefer and Dr. Schneider are custom orthotic experts. They can discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing and evaluate whether or not custom orthotics are the right solution for you. At Catherine Street Chiropractic and Massage, we offer a wide variety of high quality orthotic inserts suitable for casual wear, sports and even dress. We also offer custom orthotic footwear including shoes, boots and sandals. Please feel free to ask us for more information, or simply call us to schedule a custom orthotic fitting!
