Vancouver Custom Orthotics: Improving Foot Health and Reducing Pain
As a Vancouver chiropractor, I specialize in treating patients who suffer from a variety of foot conditions. Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that can improve foot health, alleviate pain, and prevent future injuries. In this blog post, I will discuss the benefits of custom orthotics and the process of obtaining them.
What is Custom Orthotics?
These are shoe inserts that are designed to fit the unique shape and contours of a patient’s feet. They are made from a mold or digital scan of the patient’s foot, which is then used to create a custom-made insert that fits snugly into their shoe. Custom orthotics are designed to correct abnormalities in foot structure and mechanics, redistribute pressure on the foot, and improve overall foot function.
Benefits of Custom Orthotics
There are many benefits to wearing custom orthotics, including:
- Pain Relief: They can provide relief from foot, ankle, knee, and lower back pain caused by poor foot mechanics.
- Improved Foot Function: Custom orthotics can help to correct gait abnormalities, improve foot alignment, and redistribute pressure on the foot.
- Prevent Injuries: They can help to prevent injuries by reducing the risk of overuse injuries and reducing the impact of repetitive motions on the foot.
- Improved Athletic Performance: Custom orthotics can improve balance, stability, and power during physical activity, helping to enhance athletic performance.

How Custom Orthotics are Made
The process of obtaining custom orthotics begins with a consultation with a Vancouver chiropractor or other healthcare professional from our other 16 locations who specializes in orthotics. During this consultation, the patient’s foot will be examined, and a mould or digital scan of the foot will be taken. The mould or scan is then sent to a laboratory, where the custom orthotics are created using specialized equipment and materials.
Once they have been created, the patient will return for a fitting. During the fitting, the chiropractor or healthcare professional will ensure that the orthotics fit correctly and are comfortable for the patient to wear.
Custom orthotics can be a valuable tool for patients who suffer from foot conditions or injuries. They can improve foot mechanics, alleviate pain, prevent future injuries, and enhance athletic performance.
