Custom Orthotics in Downtown Toronto
Like the foundation of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small problem develops in your feet, the subtle change in the way you walk will cause a chain reaction of adjustments in your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can put stress on joints higher up in your body, and lead to more serious problems.
Who Can Benefit?
Here are some conditions for which orthotics are prescribed:
- Arthritis
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Hip pain
- Knee pain
- Plantar fasciitis
What to Expect
If you’re coming in for a foot complaint and potentially orthotics, please bring the footwear you commonly wear and any previous pairs of orthotics that you’re currently wearing or have worn in the past.
The First Appointment
Please allow an hour for this visit. Dr. Berensteinwill find out what your complaint is and provide an examination of the feet up. Often, it’s the feet, ankles, knees, hips, and maybe the spine.
The next step is casting the foot for the orthotic, which involves a 3D laser casting or picture of the foot. Dr. Berenstein sends that, along with the clinical information, to the Footmaxx lab, where they design the orthotic that we have chosen for you. The turnaround time is two to three weeks.
The Second Appointment
As soon as the orthotics are delivered to the office, we will have you come in. No appointment is needed. You can come in, pick up the orthotics, and start wearing them.
