Custom Orthotics Support The Arches Of The Feet
Are you looking for custom orthotics in Saskatoon? Look no further! Have you ever experienced sore feet and arches, toes, ankles or knees?

Also, complications from previous injuries can all cause strain and pain in the feet, knees, and even hips and low back. Having the optimal support in your shoes is the best way to reduce these changes in your feet and arches of the foot. This is why a custom orthotic is the best way to provide extra support and relief for your feet. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help relieve your foot pain.

Custom orthotics provide essential support for the bones of the feet and ankles
Problems with your feet can be caused by several conditions directly related to the feet and ankles. General ailments and diseases that affect the body as a whole can also lead to foot pain. The following are several examples of conditions or diseases that can be the cause of foot, ankle, knee, hip and back pain. Additionally, when these problems cause you pain they should also be treated concurrently with chiropractic or physiotherapy treatment to ensure optimal recovery. The orthotics are great when you’re out on your feet, but also having some treatment will expedite the healing and you’ll feel better faster!
Custom Orthotics Help Many Conditions Including:
What is PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
What is PLANTAR FASCIITIS?
Plantar fasciitis is a painful condition along the sole of the foot; and in particular, the area that connects the heel bone to the toes. This is due to thick tissues along the bottom of the feet becoming tightened or inflamed. Pain can occur in the heel or the arch of the foot. It can be caused by obesity, age, and standing for long periods of time on your feet.
What are HEEL SPURS?
Heel spurs are a build up of bony protrusion on the heel that is usually made of some sort of calcium build-up. While the actual spurs are not painful they can poke the tissues in the heel and potentially cause severe pain. Many of the same risk factors that cause plantar fasciitis can also cause heel spurs.
What is PES PLANUS and FLAT ARCHES?
Flat arches or 'pes planus' occurs when the structural supporting arch of the foot has collapsed. This is due to ligament failure, muscle inactivity or genetic with poor bone structure of the feet. Pain can occur in the heel or the arch of the foot. It can be caused by obesity, age, and standing for long periods of time on your feet.
What is DIABETES?
Diabetes can lead to foot problems because of restricted blood flow and nerve damage. When nerves are damaged through diabetes this is referred to as neuropathy. When the muscles in the foot no longer function together properly this can cause unequal pressure on the foot. Unequal pressure can result in sores, infections, and even amputation in extreme cases. Proper footwear can help prevent foot problems related to diabetes.
What is ARTHRITIS?
Arthritis is a debilitating joint disease that can affect the joints throughout many joints in the foot. Stiffness and swelling in the joints can eventually lead to permanent joint damage. This can affect the way you stand, walk, run and exercise. Arthritis commonly affects the joint of the big toe called hallux limitus and hallux rigidus depending on the severity of the arthritis.
What is METATARSALGIA?
Metatarsalgia is a painful disorder that affects the joints and bones along the ball of the foot. This condition is often caused by narrow-fitting or restrictive footwear. Orthotics are usually recommended to help reduce pain caused by metatarsalgia by separating the compression happening at the toes and metatarsals.
What are BUNIONS?
A bunion is a painful bump on the joint of the toe, most commonly on the big toe. Bunions take years to develop and can be caused from previous foot or toe injury, hypermobile feet, flat arches, and narrow-toe shoes that cause the toes to be pushed together. When a bunion develops it will have worsening effects on the arches of the foot, the ankles, and knees. To reduce the pressure on the toes as well as the pain and swelling a custom orthotic is recommended.
What are HEEL SPURS?
Heel spurs are a build up of bony protrusion on the heel that is usually made of some sort of calcium build-up. While the actual spurs are not painful they can poke the tissues in the heel and potentially cause severe pain. Many of the same risk factors that cause plantar fasciitis can also cause heel spurs.

To reduce the pressure on the toes as well as the pain and swelling a custom orthotic is recommended.
Other treatable conditions include patellofemoral knee pain, shin splints, achilles tendonitis, and morton’s neuroma, as well as numerous systemic pathologies that (like diabetes) affect the function of the lower limbs. Physiotherapy, chiropractic, and acupuncture treatments can provide necessary therapy to relieve pain and improve whatever condition you’re suffering from.

Custom Orthotics Are Medical Foot Insoles
We Can Cast Your Feet For Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are devices that are individually created to uniquely fit your feet. They resemble insoles but are hand made and specifically crafted with materials that will last longer than off-the-shelf orthotics. They are sometimes referred to as prescription glasses for each of your feet. There are generally three types of custom orthotics.
- Therapeutic – If the shape of your feet is irregular, these types of orthotics can assist heel support, forward movement, and general stability.
- Accommodative – These are created to help you relieve the stress on joints that is often caused by conditions such as arthritis.
- Functional – These will help your feet to move in a more desirable way or bear weight in a way that will help you move and walk better.
Although custom orthotics are more expensive than off-the-shelf devices, they last much longer and provide more support or correction. Orthotic inserts will improve how your feet and lower legs feel and function. Quality orthotics can alleviate pressure, eliminate pain, and promote stability. It’s important to receive custom orthotics that are created to fit the exact shape of your foot in order to receive the maximum benefits.
