Custom Orthotics in Edmonton

Custom Orthotics to Improve Comfort, Balance, and Mobility

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that support the natural alignment of your feet and ankles. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet using precise measurements and 3D scanning technology.

At Oliver Chiropractic Wellness Clinic, we provide custom orthotics to help improve foot mechanics, reduce pain, and support better posture. Proper foot alignment can reduce stress on your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back, helping you move more comfortably throughout your day.

Custom Foot Orthotics

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics, sometimes referred to as custom shoe inserts, are medical-grade inserts that fit comfortably inside your shoes. They are designed to correct abnormal movement patterns and improve the alignment of your feet and ankles.

Poor foot mechanics can place additional stress on the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons throughout your body. By improving the position of your feet, custom orthotics can help distribute pressure more evenly and improve overall movement.

Custom orthotics may help relieve:

  • Hip pain
  • Lower back pain
  • Leg pain
  • Foot pain
  • Heel pain
  • Arch pain
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Bunions
  • Hammer toes
  • Knee pain

Who Can Benefit From Custom Orthotics?

Many people experience pain because their feet are not properly supporting their body during walking or standing.

Custom orthotics may benefit individuals who:

  • Spend long hours standing
  • Walk or run regularly
  • Participate in sports
  • Experience recurring foot pain
  • Have flat feet or high arches
  • Have knee, hip, or lower back pain related to foot alignment

During your assessment, our chiropractor will determine whether custom orthotics are appropriate for your condition.

What Does Our Chiropractor Assess?

Our chiropractor evaluates the posture and biomechanics of your feet to determine whether custom orthotics are the right solution for your needs.

During your assessment, we evaluate whether your feet and ankles are positioned in a neutral alignment. When your feet are properly aligned, your muscles and joints experience less stress during standing, walking, and everyday activities.

If your feet roll inward (pronation) or outward (supination), additional stress can be placed on your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Over time, these movement patterns may contribute to pain, discomfort, and reduced mobility.

Most patients who are fitted for custom orthotics require support to improve excessive pronation, although every assessment is personalized based on your individual foot mechanics and symptoms.

Our Custom Orthotics Process

Every pair of custom orthotics begins with a comprehensive assessment to ensure they are
designed specifically for your needs.

Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation to understand your symptoms, lifestyle, activity level, and health history.

This helps identify possible causes of your discomfort and determine whether custom orthotics are appropriate.

02 | EXAMINATION

This evaluation determines the specific corrections and support your custom orthotics require.
