Custom made Foot Orthotic Evaluation
Your assessment for a custom made prescription foot orthotic includes a number of steps and will incorporate the following performed by a chiropractor or foot specialist
•Medical history including general health, medications and allergies
•Gait analysis assessment. You will be asked to walk and will be assessed for a number of issues such as a leg length difference or degree of pronation or supination (arch flattening/heightening)
•History of the main foot or lower leg complaint
•A lower extremity biomechanical examination while you are standing or lying on the examination table. This assesses for restricted joint range of motion, boney malalignment and tight muscles.

Types of orthotics
Rigid Orthotics
Rigid orthotics are made to realign your feet. They are used primarily for walking or dress shoes and are often made of harder materials, such as plastic or carbon fibre.
Soft Orthotics
Soft orthotics are more protective or accommodative. They are generally used to absorb shock, improve balance, and remove pressure from uncomfortable or sore areas of the foot. They are used primarily for arthritic, deformed, or diabetic feet and are made of softer cushioned materials that are designed to provide cushioning and shock absorption.
Semi-Rigid Orthotics
Semi-rigid orthotics are a combination of protection and functional control.Semi-rigid orthotics are great for walking or participating in sports.
