The Benefits of Custom Orthotics at Carriage Square Chiropractic Health Centre
At Carriage Square Chiropractic Health Centre in Milton, Ontario, we understand that optimal spinal health begins with a solid foundation – your feet. Just as misaligned tires can affect your car’s performance and wear, imbalances in your feet can have a ripple effect throughout your entire musculoskeletal system, contributing to pain and discomfort in your ankles, knees, hips, and even your back and neck. This is where the power of Custom Orthotics comes in.
What are Custom Orthotics?
Unlike generic, over-the-counter arch supports, custom orthotics are medical-grade devices specifically molded to the unique contours of your individual feet. They are crafted based on a precise assessment of your foot structure, gait (how you walk), and any existing biomechanical imbalances. Think of them as personalized support systems for your feet, designed to correct and accommodate your specific needs.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics at Carriage Square Chiropractic?
- Comprehensive Assessment: Our thorough evaluation includes a detailed history, physical examination, and often a gait analysis to understand the specific way you walk and how your feet are impacting your body’s alignment.
- Precise Casting or Digital Imaging: We utilize state-of-the-art technology, such as precise casting or advanced digital foot scanning, to capture the exact contours of your feet. This ensures your orthotics are a perfect match.
- Personalized Design: Based on your assessment and imaging, your custom orthotics are designed to address your unique biomechanical imbalances, providing targeted support and correction where you need it most.
- Integration with Your Chiropractic Care: We understand how foot mechanics relate to spinal health. Your custom orthotics will be prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and soft tissue therapy to address your overall musculoskeletal well-being.
- Long-Term Support and Prevention: Custom orthotics not only help alleviate current pain but can also play a crucial role in preventing future problems by promoting proper alignment and reducing stress on your joints.
