Orthotics in Calgary
Build a Better Foundation for Your Health
Your feet are the foundation of your entire body, and when that foundation isn’t properly supported, it can lead to problems throughout your musculoskeletal system.
The experienced team at Active Back to Health understands the crucial connection between proper foot mechanics and overall spinal health. With more than 25 years of treating patients, we’ve seen how custom orthotics can transform not just foot comfort, but also resolve knee pain, hip dysfunction, and even lower back problems.
The Science of Proper Foot Support
When your feet don’t provide adequate support or proper alignment, your body compensates by altering your walking pattern (gait), which can create a cascade of problems up through your kinetic chain.
Poor foot mechanics can contribute to plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, and arch pain, and they can also be the hidden cause of knee pain, hip discomfort, and chronic lower back issues.
Our skilled practitioners use advanced assessment techniques to analyze your gait, foot structure, and biomechanics, identifying exactly how custom orthotics can restore proper function and eliminate pain throughout your body.
Ditch Your Discomfort
Custom orthotics provide lasting relief for a wide range of foot and lower extremity conditions. Patients with plantar fasciitis often experience dramatic improvement when their feet receive proper arch support and heel cushioning. Those suffering from heel spurs, bunions, or general foot fatigue find custom orthotics redistribute pressure evenly across their feet, eliminating painful pressure points.
Athletes particularly benefit from custom orthotics, as proper foot support can enhance performance while preventing overuse injuries.
What to Expect During Your First Visit
During your first visit, you will undergo a thorough biomechanical assessment by one of our experienced practitioners. We’ll evaluate your posture, analyze your walking pattern, and examine your foot structure to understand exactly what type of support will benefit you most.
Using advanced casting or digital scanning techniques, we then create a precise model of your feet that serves as the foundation for your custom devices. We work with leading orthotic laboratories to ensure your devices are crafted from high-quality materials that provide the perfect balance of support, comfort, and durability.
Throughout the process, we’ll educate you about proper footwear choices and help you understand how orthotics work with your existing shoes.
Integrated Methods Lead to Optimal Results
Our skilled professionals will seamlessly integrate your orthotic care with your chiropractic adjustments. While we’re correcting spinal alignment and improving joint function through adjustments and soft tissue therapies, custom orthotics ensure that your foundation remains stable and supportive.
This integrated approach often leads to faster healing, longer-lasting results, and better prevention of future problems.
Many of our patients find that combining custom orthotics with regular chiropractic care helps them maintain their improvements longer and reduces the frequency of flare-ups. It’s truly a whole-body approach to optimal function.
