Your feet have a direct impact on the rest of your body. Like the foundations of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle changes in the way you walk will cause a chain-reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes could stress your joints and lead to more serious problems such as knee pain, hip pain, and back pain. Here are four common signs you may need orthotics and where to find custom orthotics in Victoria, B.C.
What Orthotics Are
Orthotics are prescription inserts that can help keep your feet stable while standing or walking. Custom orthotics can be used to correct suboptimal gait issues and have been shown to effectively eliminate foot pain and improve overall foot functioning.
Four Signs You May Need Orthotics
- You stand for more than 5 hours per day
- Your shoes are worn out
- You have no arch or a high arch in your foot
- You have severe pain in your foot, heel, knee, or hips
Using state of the art Gait Analysis technology along with a foam casting to ensure a proper fit, we can fit you for a variety of custom orthotics, such as ones for sports, ones for everyday dress shoes, and ones for regular everyday use.
