Walk Comfortably: Understanding the Benefits of Custom Orthotics

September 5, 2023

At St. George Wellness Centre, we believe everyone deserves to live a healthy and comfortable life. That's why we offer a wide range of services to cater to your individual needs, including custom orthotics. But what exactly are custom orthotics, and how can they benefit you? This article aims to shed some light on these questions.


What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe or heel inserts prescribed by a healthcare professional. These devices are made specifically for your feet, following an assessment of your foot structure, biomechanics, and the way you walk. They are different from the off-the-shelf shoe inserts available at local stores, as they are tailored to fit your feet's unique needs.


The Benefits of Custom Orthotics

Custom orthotics offer several benefits that can enhance your overall quality of life.


Improved Comfort: Because these devices are tailor-made for your feet, they provide a higher level of comfort than over-the-counter shoe inserts. They evenly distribute your body weight across your feet, reducing the pressure on certain areas and providing relief from discomfort.


Enhanced Mobility: By correcting imbalances in your feet, custom orthotics can improve your gait and mobility. This can be particularly beneficial if you have a foot deformity, suffer from arthritis, or have suffered an injury.


Reduced Pain: Orthotics can help alleviate pain in the foot, ankle, knee, hip, and lower back. They do this by correcting foot imbalances and promoting proper alignment of the legs and body.


Who Can Benefit from Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics can benefit people of all ages and walks of life. Whether you're an athlete looking to enhance your performance, an individual with a physically demanding job, or someone experiencing age-related changes in your feet, custom orthotics could be an excellent solution for you.
