Custom Foot Orthotics and Compression Hosiery in Burlington
Custom Foot Orthotics
Your feet take a beating over the years. The average person takes 8,000 to 10,000 steps per day, and accumulates over one million pounds of pressure. Therefore, your feet have a direct impact on your body and support you with every step. Research has shown that even the smallest abnormality in foot function may have a significant impact on the joints in the body, and may cause foot, ankle, knee, hip, and back pain.
Orthotics are custom-made shoe inserts designed to correct abnormal or irregular walking patterns and restore proper foot function and balance. They control each phase of the walking cycle, from the moment your heel contacts the ground to when your toes push off the surface.
These special shoe inserts have been shown to help decrease pain associated with
- Collapsed arches
- Poor posture
- Plantar fasciitis
- Bunions
- Bursitis
- Tendonitis
- Foot, ankle, and heel pain
- And more
Each person is unique in their foot structure, arch height and walking form. Only an orthotic unique to your foot can correct your situation.

What to Expect
A computerized scan is used to take an imprint of your foot to ensure the orthotic is specifically designed for you. Orthotics often enhance comfort and prevent you from developing additional problems like corns and calluses. Your custom-made orthotics provide support, improve the functioning of your feet, and relieve pain.
Compression Hosiery
Millions of people in Canada suffer from poor blood circulation, varicose veins, and blood clots. These conditions are often uncomfortable, unsightly, and potentially deadly. One solution is graduated compression hosiery.
These specialized hosiery are designed to improve your circulation by helping move blood from your legs back to your heart. The mechanism is simple. By being tighter around your ankle than further up your leg, they help push the blood in your veins upward.
As a result, this method may help prevent leg and foot fatigue, is useful for preventing blood clots in legs, and may increase circulation in the legs and feet. They are particularly helpful for women during pregnancy.
