Custom-made orthotics are personalized medical devices intended to provide targeted support and alleviate discomfort in various body parts, including the feet, ankles, knees, and lower back.

During the consultation, our chiropractors discuss your needs and design orthotics to address your feet' unique characteristics and walking patterns. This process offers a personalized solution for a wide range of foot-related issues.

This includes effectively managing overpronation, supination, and other biomechanical irregularities that can lead to discomfort in the ankles, knees, hips, or lower back. By addressing these foundational concerns, custom orthotics often play a key role in enhancing overall posture and body alignment.

Custom orthotics are suitable for many individuals, from athletes seeking enhanced performance to those with chronic foot pain or structural abnormalities. They are particularly beneficial for people who spend long hours on their feet, have unique foot shapes, or require specific support due to medical conditions.

I’ve worked with over 1200 clients in the past 4 years. From hockey players at Brock University to Seneca’s College Mens Basketball team, office workers to clients living with chronic pain. I have experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds to deliver tailored results for my client’s needs.

I take pride in delivering results to my clients. I focus on investigating the root causes of my clients’ aches, pains and discomfort, structuring treatments that will provide them with instant relief, as well as setting the course for providing long-term results. I believe that educating my clients on the little things that they can seamlessly implement into their lives will help prevent the same issues from coming back and new ones from developing. As one of my mentors once said to me “Small tweaks can lead to giant peaks.”
