Chronic feet problems
75% of people will suffer from foot related problems at some point in their life.
The foot is a complex structure made up of more than 26 bones, 33 joints (20 of which are actively articulated), and more than a hundred muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
As a result of their intrinsic structure, the feet are vulnerable to injuries. Foot pain that interferes with your normal activities is an indication that something is wrong and that you should seek medical help.

Chronic feet problems
A custom orthotic is device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance.
Custom orthotics work for your feet much like glasses work for your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motions that take place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole and they have the advantage of having been made from precise mold of your feet.
Orthotics are generally covered by your Extended Healthcare Plan. Please call our office if you have any questions or to book your initial consultation/examination. We conduct a comprehensive gait and a biomechanical examination as part of our assessment.

Treatment
Poor circulation can be treated in a number of ways including compression stockings.
Compression stockings is the wearing of socks that are specially designed to support veins and increase circulation in the legs. Compression reduces and helps to prevent swelling.
Wearing compression socks or stockings is vital for the treatment or prevention of varicose veins and other circulatory problems, especially for individuals who are at risk.
Compression stockings are generally covered by your Extended Healthcare Plan. Please call our office if you have any questions or to book your initial consultation/examination.
