2 Clinics available: London, ON and Chatham, ON As Canadian Certified Pedorthists, C. Ped (C)'s, we specialize in custom made foot orthotics to relieve foot, ankle, knee and hip pain, as well as correcting gait abnormalities. After taking a medical history, assessing the lower limbs both weight bearing and non-weight bearing, we are able to video a person's gait to determine if custom made foot orthotics would be beneficial. We use our unique SOLE Technique to set us apart from other orthotic clinics. We provide stabilization using orthopaedic fundamentals of gait with our carefully layered and engineered technique to build your foot orthotics. We also have the training and capability to do footwear modifications (ie lifts, flares), and custom footwear. We can measure and fit for both Performance-Grade (15-20 mmHg) and Medical-Grade (20-30 and 30-40 mmHg) compression socks to help with your sore, swollen and tired legs. All work is done at our on-site lab. A physician's prescription is required for all custom made foot orthotics.

If you are experiencing pain in your legs and feet, there are many benefits to wearing custom-made orthotics.

Custom-made orthotics are designed with your individual feet in mind. Although orthotics are not a cure to all issues in the lower leg and feet, they can be used to help relieve painful conditions that can be debilitating. By looking at the whole picture we can offload areas of high stress leading to decreased tiredness and achiness, better performance and endurance, decreased stress on overworked areas, and get you feeling more like yourself again!

If you have questions about orthotics and how you could benefit from them, message us today!

While we do make some good orthotics 😜 they sometimes are only as good as the shoes you put them into 👟

Shoes that fit properly can sometimes be key in getting rid of that stubborn foot pain 😩 If the shoe you are wearing is quite flexible, even with the addition of an orthotic, there still can be excessive movement that we are trying to avoid from happening. Depending what the issue is with the foot, there can be certain shoes that may aggravate symptoms.

There can be many reasons why we might suggest new shoes. Your shoes can be too narrow, too wide, too wide, too short, worn out, or just the wrong shoe for your needs. If you are looking for an assessment to see how your shoes fit, call or book online.

The human foot is a small, but mighty structure 💪

Although the foot isn't a large part of the body, it is jam-packed with bones, ligaments, and tendons to help you move and walk. The 52 bones in your feet make up one quarter of all the bones in your body! 🤯

This means that when the feet are out of alignment, so is the rest of your body. That is why it is so important to care for your feet and give them the proper support.

It’s that time of year when we are spending lots of time on our feet. Whether it’s baking, cooking, shopping, or walking in the snow, sometimes our feet get neglected.

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common complaints we see in the clinic! Typically, people will describe pain on the bottom of the foot, sharp pain in the heel or arch, pain when first standing that improves after walking and then gets worse by the end of the day!

There are many things that can lead to plantar fasciitis including:
👠 Improper footwear (unsupportive shoes)
👣 Foot biomechanics (how you walk)
🏃🏼 Exercise frequency (common in runners)
👷🏼‍♂️ Occupation (standing on hard floors)
There are also different ways to help treat it that you can start at home!
👟 Better quality footwear (stiff sole, less flexible)
⚾️ Using a massage ball at home
❄️ Icing the area (a frozen water bottle is the perfect shape)
👣 Custom-made foot orthotics

The massage ball, ice, and proper footwear can help reduce inflammation and pain, but if there is a mechanical issue in the foot then orthotics may be beneficial to help stop the issue from coming back!

When you think about sore feet, the first thought for many people is ORTHOTICS! While this can be true... do you ever think about orthotics for more than just foot pain?

Let's say the foot rolls inwards or pronates as we see in the photo on the right. What happens is the knee follows rolling inwards, which leads the hip moving inwards which has a major effect on gait and the biomechanics of the lowee limb. This can show up as pain in any of the areas (or maybe more than one!) such as the low back, the glutes, the hips, the quads/hamstings, the knees, the calves, including the ankles.
⁣
This is where being assessed by a Certified Pedorthist is so helpful! We assess the ENTIRE lower limb to try to determine where the root cause of pain is. If we believe custom foot orthotics would be beneficial, the goal is to line up the hips over your knees, over your ankles, and in line with your feet to hopefully create less pain in the entire lower limb!

Did you know there are many ways to treat foot pain? 🤔 Sometimes it may require a couple different therapies to take care of stubborn problems

Here are the most common methods we see and how they can help!
1️⃣ Custom-made orthotics 🔹Foot pain is typically associated with improper biomechanics, or how the foot move. Orthotics that are custom designed for you can help offload the feet and align them to help reduce excess stress
2️⃣ New, properly fit shoes 🔹If you are still wearing shoes from the 90's, you may be in need of new shoes. Shoes should be replaced anywhere from 8 months to 2 years, depending on how often they are being worn. Shoes that are properly fit for you are also important to ensure the feet don't have unnecessary strain being placed on them
3️⃣ Physiotherapy/Massage therapy 🔹 Stretching out tight muscles and strengthening weak ones, will help your body run more efficiently and properly. Massage is also beneficial to release tension and improve mobility
4️⃣ Acupuncture 🔹 Expertly placed needles can help to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissue to direct the body to areas of tension to aid in healing
5️⃣ Cortisone injections 🔹A type of steroid injection to reduce pain and inflammation in a specific area
6️⃣ Surgical intervention 🔹If less invasive treatments are not helping, an orthopedic surgeon may opt for surgery to reduce pain

Did you know you can put orthotics in skates? ⛸

If you are spending a lot of time on your skates and noticing pain or discomfort in your lower limbs, looking at your foot/ankle/knee alignment as well as the shape of your foot are important factors to consider. For people who spend a lot of time on the ice and are experiencing pain, we often recommend either a custom or off-the-shelf orthotic to go in your skates. If it’s something we can help with as pedorthist then we will let you know!

Generally an orthotic to go in your skates will be thinner and possibly different than what you put in your walking shoes. So a lot of time at the rink usually needs a separate pair of orthotics for the skates. We’re able to work with the skate stores to help get the pressure off your ankles, reduce heel and arch pain, and hopefully put your feet at a better angle to get maximum edge of the skate blade. Sometimes it’s a collaboration of the pedorthist and skate shop to modify the skates by moving the blade on the boot or punching out and area that runs on the foot. There’s lots that can be done to make you more comfortable!

If you skate lots, bring your skates with you to the appointment so we can see how your foot works in the skates!!

Medial tibial stress syndrome, or MTSS, is commonly known as shin splints. Typically, the person will feel pain (red, hot, achy, swollen) on the inside of the shin or along the front of the shin bone.

This condition is typically induced by exercise, especially when starting a new activity. If you are a runner (that hasn't run in a while), make sure to start low and slow. Sports that involve repetitive loads on the legs, such as running and jumping, put you at higher risk for developing this condition.

Ice and rest is best in the acute stages of this condition. Looking at your footwear to see if they are worn out and checking your orthotics are the next steps in helping to treat this.
