Custom Orthotics in Surrey
Many forms of pain and stress in the body can originate in the feet. Orthotics are inserts that are used in your shoes to improve alignment and function. The over-the-counter orthotics available in stores are not necessarily meant for your specific problem.
An Aligned Body for Better Health
Along with properly fitting footwear, orthotics establish a stable alignment of your body. They position your foot and ankle into the ideal position, correcting foot imbalances and restoring your body’s biomechanics. Pressure can then be alleviated all over the body including ankles, knees, hips and low back.
A Thorough Evaluation Using Leading Technology
At your first visit to our practice, we will go through a comprehensive process to get your orthotics created. First, we will discuss your history and current complaints. Next, we will proceed with the TOG GaitScan™, an innovative tool for diagnosis and digital casting for orthotics. We use 4096 sensors with a scan rate that takes 300 frames in a second, transmitting them to The Orthotic Group’s laboratory in Ontario. Scans are taken of you standing and walking.
Your feet will then be visually examined. Based on all the data collected, we will present the options available for the orthotics you require. An assessment of the spine may be recommended or performed by your practitioner if connected to your complaint. Without this assessment, your visit takes 30 minutes. If you proceed with a spinal evaluation, your appointment will extend to 60 minutes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to complete paperwork for this service?
Yes, you will need to fill out an intake form.
Will there be an exam at my first appointment? If yes, what kind?
Our chiropractor will run through the intake history with you and perform an examination. They will discuss your diagnosis and condition with you and a 3D GaitScan will be performed. The GaitScan system featuring TOG Client Software is an innovative diagnostic tool and digital casting device that allows Practitioners to analyze patient biomechanics and order custom orthotics.
How long will my first appointment take?

How long will it take to get my orthotics?
We place an order as soon as you pay for the orthotics. Insurance companies do not pay our clinic, and pay the patient once paperwork is sent to them. It may take up to 10-14 days for us to receive your customised orthotics. We will give you a call to schedule a pick up and fitting appointment.
