Custom Orthotics in London
Sore feet can make a long shift, a walk, or a workout less enjoyable. If discomfort keeps returning, an assessment can help identify whether your foot mechanics, footwear, or other factors may be involved. At Advanced Chiropractic, our chiropractors assess whether custom orthotics are suitable for your needs.
Inserts Made to an Individual Prescription
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts made to an individual prescription after we assess your feet and related concerns. Their design may include features that redistribute pressure and support foot function. Advanced Chiropractic works with two different orthotic brands, allowing our chiropractors to consider options based on each patient’s assessment and individual needs. Custom and over-the-counter inserts serve different needs. Your chiropractor considers your symptoms, activities, and footwear before discussing which option may be suitable.
Looking Beyond Arch Shape
Flat feet or high arches don’t automatically mean you need orthotics. The assessment considers whether your foot structure and movement may be related to your symptoms. People seek an orthotics assessment for concerns such as foot or heel pain and discomfort during prolonged standing or walking. Athletes may also have questions about recurring symptoms during training.
If you have ankle, knee, hip, or back pain, your chiropractor can assess whether foot mechanics may be relevant rather than assuming your feet are the cause.
A Closer Look at How You Stand and Walk
Your first visit starts with a history of your current symptoms, previous injuries, daily activities, and footwear. Your chiropractor observes your gait and examines your feet, arches, and relevant joints. A computerized screening tool provides additional information about pressure distribution. Those findings are considered alongside the rest of your examination. If orthotics are recommended, your chiropractor explains the prescription and any proposed modifications. You’ll also discuss footwear, how to begin wearing the inserts, and follow-up to review their fit and your response.
