Custom Foot Orthotics in Mississauga for Pain Relief & Support

Custom Made Foot Orthotics

Custom foot orthotics in Mississauga can help relieve foot, knee, and lower back pain by improving alignment and support. At Dynamic Physiotherapy, we provide personalized orthotics designed to correct imbalances, reduce strain, and improve your overall movement and comfort.

Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

Custom orthotics are specially designed inserts that support your feet and improve alignment during movement. By correcting imbalances, they help reduce strain on joints and muscles throughout your body.

Symptoms of poor foot mechanics can include:

Localized foot pain
Bunions, hammer toes
Arch/Heel Pain
Let/Knee Pain
Hip or Back Pain

Custom foot orthotics provide a simple solution to correcting these issues. These fully customized inserts are worn inside the shoe in order to correct and control congenital or acquired conditions associated with the misalignment of the foot. By aligning the feet properly, orthotics help to align the entire musculoskeletal system to improve the condition of the ankles, hips, knees, and back.

Made from a plaster cast of the patient’s own foot, these inserts are specially made to correct weight distribution and provide proper support to the arch of the foot. This is not the same as off-the-shelf inserts which, while they may provide some support and pain relief, are not customized to your unique needs and structural anomalies. In fact, these off-the-shelf inserts may do more harm than good in some cases.

A full gait analysis assesses the mechanics of your foot, how you walk, and the anatomy and biomechanics of your lower limbs and feet. This provides the information required to create your custom orthotics as well as make treatment recommendations.

Using foot orthotics we can treat:

Plantar fasciitis and heel spurs
Shin splints
Bunion pain
Metatarsalgia
Achilles Tendonitis
Morton’s Neuroma
Lower back, knee, and/or ankle pain
Hammer/claw toes
Flat feet or adult acquired flat feet
High arches
Discrepancy in length of legs

Any adult or child with foot, knee, ankle, or back pain can benefit from the use of foot orthotics. Signs that you may need custom orthotics include abnormal shoe wear, frequent ankle sprains, shin splits, gait abnormalities, general foot pain, chronic heel pain, flat feet, and bunions.

The longer you wear your custom orthotics the more benefit you will get out of them. If your daily activities vary to the extent that you change your footwear, then you should have a second pair of custom orthotics designed for that specific activity (ie going to the gym after work).

Since custom orthotics work to realign the structure of your foot you may feel pressure in some areas as the custom orthotic attempts to do its job. For this reason custom orthotics should be worn in two hour intervals and slowly extend the wear time over a period of two weeks.

Custom orthotics are often combined with physiotherapy treatments and shockwave therapy to improve recovery and long-term results.

Some Helpful Questions & Answers About Custom Made Foot Orthotics

What Are Custom-Made Orthotics?

Custom-made foot orthotics are custom made to an individual’s foot, as opposed to a one type fits all. Custom orthotics are also made to treat specific conditions of the foot such as plantar fasciitis and heel spurs.
How Long Do Custom Orthotics Last?

While there is no expiration date, custom orthotics usually last from 2-3 years.
Do I Have To Wear Custom Orthotics For Life?

Orthotics may not be required to be worn for life. However it is recommended that the feet be checked every 2 to 3 years to determine whether a new set of orthotics is required.
What Material of Orthotics Is The Best For Me?

Topcovers are primarily used as a barrier between one’s foot and the orthotic. Most top covers are made of durable material for endurance.
Should Custom Orthotics Hurt At First?

Custom orthotics if worn incorrectly may cause pain. It is recommended that custom orthotics be worn on the first day for no more than 2 hours, and each day the length of time spent wearing them gradually increased. Please note that custom orthotics do not weaken the muscles of the feet.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Claudia Marcinkiewicz

CLIENT

I have been coming here since I was a little girl with my parents, mostly just waiting for them and playing around with the equipment. Now I have started going in for my own treatments and have nothing but good things to say! Robert and Kasia are always welcoming and truly take care of their clients. I usually go in for a massage on my back and I always leave with it feeling 10 times better. I would recommend Dynamic Physiotherapy to anyone needing physio needs!

MaryJo Landry

CLIENT

I was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy and was referred here. I was amazed on how the treatment for this not only healed me but worked so quickly. Catherine was open and honest about the process and was always friendly. Very clean environment. I would go back anytime I need Physio. I strongly recommend the service here.
