Custom Fitting Provides the Following Benefits:

• Pain relief from injuries and foot deformities

• Promotes efficient biomechanics for sporting enthusiasts

An ORTHOTIC is a foot-supporting device also known as a custom insole.

Orthotics are custom-made devices to give support to the feet, plantar fascia fibrous band, ligaments and tendons.

Foot Orthotics are used to correct imbalances in overall posture and walking patterns and to relieve pain from muscles and tendons in the feet all the way up through the ankles, knees, legs, hips and lower back.

If you experience foot pain, this could be from poor biomechanics in the foot. Axis Health Center provides custom-made orthoses to ensure proper posture, walking and eliminate further pain, soft tissue buildup or numbness.

Some common foot conditions in which the application of Custom Foot Orthotics is beneficial:

Low arched, or flat feet, are a common type of foot structure.

Most flat feet are pronated which is a foot in poor functional position. Close examination of this type of foot in a weight-bearing position shows:

• turning out of the heel bone away from the centre of the body
• inward rotation of the leg
• bulging of the inner aspect of the ankle
• shifting of the forefoot outward from the heel

Sharp pain, aching or stiffness on the bottom of one or both heels is a very common ailment. Pain from Plantar Fasciitis is often at its worst upon awakening in the morning (or after sitting down for an extended period and then resuming activity). This pain causes hobbling or a limping gait pattern for a few minutes before a comfortable stride can be resumed. As weight continues to be applied during walking or standing, mild or severe pain may persist. Another cause of heel pain is bone spurs, where bone growth originates from the heel bone (Calcaneous) and pinches into the tendons of the heel from the Achilles tendon. Injury, overuse, loss of fat pad and/or non-presence of fat tissue on the heel can also cause heel pain.
