Experience the Best Foot Orthotics with a Pedorthic Difference

We believe that the best foot orthotics are a result of expert knowledge and personalized care. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your gait, posture, and foot structure. This allows our pedorthists to create custom-made orthotics that are truly unique to you. Whether you’re dealing with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general foot fatigue, our pedorthic experts will provide a solution that not only treats the symptoms but also addresses the root cause of your discomfort. Choose us for custom orthotics in the Greater Toronto Area and experience the difference that professional pedorthic care makes.

What Does a Custom Foot Orthotic Do?

The human foot is a biomechanical marvel. It is capable of adapting to a lot of stress. But our everyday lives dole out a lot of punishment. During regular activities like walking and climbing stairs they absorb up to three times our body weight. When exercising, forces can be as high as seven times our weight!

This makes them vulnerable to injury. It also means that if our feet are not functioning optimally, those forces can be passed on to our knees and hips causing injury in those areas. The aim of a well made custom orthotic is to align the foot and ankle to be able to absorb force appropriately, and to minimize areas of excessive strain on the joints and soft tissues. To learn how an orthotic accomplishes this, check out our article here.

Common Conditions Treated With Foot Orthotics

It is important to note that every patient’s situation is different. Not all cases of plantar fasciitis require an orthotic, but some will find it to be an enormous help. This is why we always start with a thorough biomechanical assessment. That being said, here are some conditions that may benefit from a foot orthotic:

• Plantar fasciitis
• Heel spurs
• Metatarsalgia
• Excessively pronated and supinated feet (flat or high arches)
• Morton’s neuroma
• Osteoarthritis or pain in the joints of the feet
• Patellofemoral syndrome (runner’s knee)
• Compensatory knee, hip and back pain

Will My Foot Orthotics Be Covered By Insurance?

At Cornerstone our orthotics are provided by Pedorthists. Many large insurers require that orthotics be provided by a pedorthist (rather than a Physiotherapist, chiropractor or other professional). Every insurance plan is different, so we recommend that you check with your insurer what stipulations they have for reimbursement. Cornerstone will provide documentation of a gait assessment, biomechanical examination and a letter outlining the fabrication process of our foot orthotics. Along with the receipt for payment this will assist with your insurance claim.
