CUSTOM FOOT ORTHOTICS
Our custom foot orthotics are designed from raw materials, custom to your symptoms, foot posture, and lifestyle. Orthotics are inserts designed to be placed inside your footwear to improve shock absorption, pressure distribution, and improve mechanics to alleviate strained tissue, helping you get back to your active life. As every foot is different, we offer various foot casting and fabrication methods to ensure the ideal fit for your new custom foot orthotics.
SPORTS MEDICINE
Whether you have an acute injury or chronic discomfort, we are here to help you recover. We carry a wide selection of ankle and knee braces, as well as toe spacers and splints to assist with bunion and lesser toe discomforts. We are also always open to sharing simple, at-home routines to help give you the relief you need.
COMPRESSION SOCKS
We have a variety of compression stockings to suit your symptoms — and your personal style. Based on your doctor’s recommendation, we are happy to address your compression needs, whether it is preventative care or a more severe case.
Measurements will be taken to ensure we get the right fit. All first time compression patients will receive complementary donning gloves, to improve the lifespan of their products and ensure ease of donning.
FOOTWEAR MODIFICATION
AND EDUCATION
Many people are unsure of the ideal shoes for their activities, symptoms, and foot posture. We're here to help! Following an in-depth biomechanical assessment, we will take the time to explain footwear features and functions that can reduce your symptoms and make activity fun again! We don’t sell shoes in the clinic, but we are happy to recommend some local shoe stores that will get you walking in the right direction.
As pedorthists we are well versed in the various modifications that can be done to improve the fit and function of your off-the-shelf shoes — from lifts, rocker soles, stretching, and more!

COMPRESSION
Free
30 min.
Medical-grade compression stockings are prescribed by a medical doctor to assist in lower limb venous return to reduce swelling, cramping, or fatigued lower limbs. These appointments are ideally early in the day to get best measurements before swelling. After the initial measurement, no future appointments are required for new compression socks unless leg size has changed.
BRACING
Free
30 min.
We are currently offering off-the-shelf braces for the ankle and knee, as well as for the back, elbow and wrist. We will discuss symptoms and take measurements to determine the ideal brace to aid in pain relief and recovery.
ADJUSTMENT
30 min.
Any adjustments required within the first year of purchasing custom foot orthotics are free. Outside of this time frame, adjustment appointments are $40. If a full orthotic refurbishment is required, the cost is dependent on orthotic complexity, and ranges from $50-$95 for refurbishments.
To book please call 250-595-3616.
