Orthotics in Calgary
The Power of Personalized Foot Support
Our team understands that when it comes to orthotics, one size doesn’t fit all. While over-the-counter insoles offer a generic solution, our custom orthotics provide personalized support tailored to your unique foot structure and needs. Using advanced scanning technology, we create orthotics specifically designed to address your foot problems and enhance overall comfort.
Understanding the Foot-Body Connection
Your feet are the foundation of your body, and their mechanics play a crucial role in your overall well-being. Issues like overpronation, supination, or flat feet can affect your entire skeletal structure, potentially leading to pain in your knees, ankles, hips, and back. Our custom orthotics effectively address these mechanical issues, providing relief and support for a wide range of conditions, from bunions to plantar fasciitis.
Specialized Solutions for Every Need
At our practice, we understand that orthotics are not one-size-fits-all. We pride ourselves on offering a wide range of specialized orthotic solutions tailored to address various specific needs and conditions. Our expert team works closely with each patient to create custom orthotics that provide targeted support and relief. Here’s a more in-depth look at some of our specialized offerings:
Diabetic Foot Care: Our diabetic foot care solutions focus on protecting sensitive feet and preventing complications. We offer custom-molded insoles with pressure-redistributing materials to alleviate stress on vulnerable areas. Our designs are soft and seamless to minimize friction and prevent blisters, which is crucial for diabetic patients. We also incorporate antimicrobial properties to reduce the risk of infection, a common concern for those with diabetes. Regular follow-ups are an integral part of our care, allowing us to monitor foot health and make necessary adjustments to ensure ongoing protection and comfort.
Athletic Performance: For athletes and active individuals, we provide orthotics designed to enhance balance and agility across various sports. Our sport-specific orthotics cater to the unique demands of activities like running, tennis, and golf. We use shock-absorbing materials to cushion high-impact movements and lightweight designs to maintain agility and speed. Moisture-wicking properties are incorporated to keep feet dry during intense workouts, reducing the risk of blisters and discomfort. These performance-oriented orthotics are crafted to give athletes a competitive edge while protecting their feet from the rigors of their chosen sports.
Everyday Comfort: Our everyday comfort orthotics focus on improving posture and reducing daily discomfort for those who may not have specific medical conditions but still benefit from extra support. We create customized arch support tailored to various foot types, ensuring optimal alignment and weight distribution. Heel cups are integrated to improve stability and absorb shock with each step. For those experiencing discomfort in the forefoot, we include metatarsal pads to relieve pressure on the ball of the foot. Our full-length orthotics are designed to provide even weight distribution throughout the entire foot, promoting all-day comfort whether you’re standing, walking, or engaging in light activities.
