We've added a new product in office to help relieve your pain.
Formthotics are custom-fitted medical orthotics, designed to provide support and comfort for our patients. A total contact foot orthotic – achieved by thermoforming (heat-moulding) the orthotic and fitting it to the patient's foot.
Pain and discomfort is your body's way of telling you something is not right and it needs attention to avoid risking further injury. Formthotics stabilize your feet and lower limbs to help reduce foot and posture related pain. These can help with back, hip, knee, and foot pain.
It's important to remember that orthotics aren't going to completely fix your pain. In our office we will often recommend products in addition to chiropractic or rehab services to help you get better, faster. A treatment plan for back, hip, knee/foot pain may include some exercises, a change in shoes you wear, as well as adding orthotics into your shoes to help with overall pain. These small adjustments to your lifestyle can make impactful changes that will save you money and a lot of pain and discomfort in the long term.
