Pains
Do you feel pain in the legs, knees, back or hips? Do you suffer from arthritis, muscle fatigue? Are you prone to corns, onions, calluses, cramps, injuries to the heel or arch?
If you answered yes to one or two of these questions, it is possible that a foot orthosis is the solution to your problem!
Foot Orthosis
The foot orthosis is a removable insole crafted specifically for your feet. It is comfortable and fits easily in most shoes.
The orthosis requires a thorough examination by the podiatrist on the functioning of your lower limbs. This examination helps identifying the deviations and differences in length between the members, as well as possible osseous imbalances in the hips, knees and feet.
The certified orthosist, with a prescription from the podiatrist, proceeds to the manufacturing of a mold of your feet by technical means to give you an orthosis that fits perfectly.
In growing children, the orthosis may help correct a deficient bone structure. In adults, the orthosis compensates for the deficiency by restoring the static and dynamic balance of the lower limbs.
Foot Health
The human foot is a masterpiece of structure and function designed to last a lifetime without problems. It consists of 26 bones, a network of ligaments, muscles and blood vessels. It is the main element that supports the entire body, subject to many pressures, and consequently many ailments. To care for it yourself can sometimes turn a minor ailment into a major problem. Why not consult a podiatrist! Recognized by Quebec's Order of Podiatrists, podiatry specializes in foot health.
