Hear from Our Happy Clients!Walk the Path to Wellness
Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk can cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics, which can lead to long term painful conditions. Our Custom Orthotics can help align and correct these imbalances, providing custom support, and custom comfort.The Science Behind Custom Orthotics
Custom Orthotics (inserts, shoes and sandals) are constructed specifically to correct abnormalities in your foot mechanics. At Wright's Wellness clinic in Etobicoke Toronto, we offer the highest quality precision custom-made orthotic medical appliances for maximum support and function.Your Personalized Path to Body Support and Balance
Custom Orthotics along with a personalized treatment plan can help immensely by providing tailored support for the body. They provide optimally balanced force distribution across the feet, customized to the patient's already existing pattern of standing/walking using gait analysis. Custom Orthotics are able to redistribute the body weight efficiently and take pressure off of areas which may be overburdened, as well as help properly align the bones of the feet, ankles and knees.Alleviate Lower Back Pain with Custom Orthotics
Yes, Custom Orthotics can help. If foot arches have dropped, or the biomechanics of the feet are altered, it can cause a change in how one walks and can put pressure on the ankles, knees and hips resulting in lower back pain.The Timeline for Your Custom Orthotics
Generally, the manufacturing and processing time for Custom Orthotics takes 5 - 7 business days between the order date and the pickup date. Patients will get a call as soon as they are ready.The Lifespan of Your Custom Orthotics
With everyday use, Custom Orthotics should last at least one year. Many patients do have multiple pairs, which extends the life of the Custom Orthotics, and they can last between 2 - 5 years.Tailored for Every Step: Choosing the Right Custom Orthotics for Your Shoes
Custom Orthotics are available for all footwear applications. The most popular types are the multipurpose Custom Orthotic which allows for versatile usage in casual, work, or sports shoes, and the runner's custom orthotic which provides greater shock absorption, stability, and greater breathability materials. Other applications include those for court sports, dress shoes, narrow heels or boots, golf shoes, skis/snowboards, and skates.Find Relief From Common Conditions With Custom Orthotics
