Custom Orthotics

At the Arthritis & Injury Care Centre, custom orthotics for the foot and/or feet are part of a therapeutic process.

This is the result of an assessment from a Certified Pedorthist or Podiatrist that includes a biomechanical and gait analysis, proper foot joint range of motion testing, soft tissue/muscle testing, as well as a number of additional testing based on your individual injury/condition. After this assessment, a three-dimensional mold of your feet (or foot) will be taken for the custom foot orthotics and the Certified Pedorthist or Podiatrist will discuss and educate you on the best approach for solving your injury/condition.

We take pride in your recovery and progress and will work with you through this entire process. Additional follow up sessions can be made to check on your progress with the orthotics, and any other treatment protocol that may be suggested.

The added benefit of choosing the Arthritis & Injury Care Centre for custom orthotics treatment is our inter-professional approach. Our Certified Pedorthists and Podiatrist work closely alongside Brace Specialists, Physiotherapists, Massage Therapists, and other medical professionals to offer all our patients the best care possible. You can purchase custom orthotics at our Halifax, Dartmouth, and Saint John locations.

Orthopedic shoes support or accommodate the structure of the foot and ankle while providing a strong, stable base of support to enable a patient to walk normally.
