Custom Orthotics


Podiatry Durham Region | Podiatrist Durham Region

Orthotics refer to custom-made devices designed to support, align, and improve the function of the feet and lower limbs. These inserts, worn inside shoes, are tailored to address various biomechanical issues, such as overpronation (excessive outward rolling) or supination (insufficient rolling). Orthotics can alleviate discomfort, correct gait abnormalities, distribute pressure more evenly, and enhance overall foot function, aiding in the management of conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, and certain sports injuries.


A Medical Doctors referral is NOT necessary. Our Chiropodist can prescribe (write referrals) and dispense orthotics.
