Daily Wear on Your Feet

Every day that you go out to work, exercise, or even just walk to your destination, your feet are getting a workout. They are the supportive foundation of your entire body, taking on all of your weight with every step you take. It's important to keep foot care in mind and not just when they start to cause you aches and pains.

What Are Orthotics and How Do They Help?

Orthotic devices are inserts that you place in your shoes to give you more arch and heel support. They may also help adjust the position of your feet so that they don't have friction with the inside of your shoes when you walk or stand. To have an orthotic created, your doctor needs an exact image of the shape of your feet. Using a new technology called ScanCast 3D can create a color image of your feet on a computer. After your Toronto, ON chiropodist takes this digital impression of your foot, he can create accurate custom orthotics that you can put in your shoes each day.

Benefits of Orthotics

One of the most significant benefits of orthotic devices is that they are a simple and fast solution for many foot ailments. Other orthotic benefits include:

• The turnaround to receive your custom orthotic using ScanCast 3D is relatively fast, usually taking less than a few weeks.
• You may experience relief from foot pain and strain very quickly after wearing your inserts.
• Orthotics help minimize the possibility of needing invasive foot surgeries.
• You can continue to wear your favorite shoes.
