About Our Orthotics

Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to support and comfort your feet. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we offer custom orthotics tailored to address your unique needs.


These are not just typical shoe inserts, but medical devices designed to correct specific foot imbalances. Our trained therapists assess your foot structure, gait, and specific needs to create orthotics that provide optimal support and comfort.

  • How It Works

    Custom orthotics work by realigning the foot and ankle bones to their natural position, thereby correcting irregular walking patterns. They redistribute pressure across your feet more evenly, reducing stress on certain areas. 


    Our therapists conduct a thorough assessment, including a gait analysis and foot structure examination, to design orthotics that fit perfectly and address your specific issues.

  • Benefits of Custom Orthotics

    The benefits of custom orthotics are extensive. They can provide relief from foot, knee, and back pain caused by foot imbalances. They can also improve foot function, enhance athletic performance, and prevent injuries. 


    By correcting foot alignment, they can also improve body posture and balance. Custom orthotics are designed for long-term use and can provide ongoing support and comfort.

  • Who Is It For

    Custom orthotics can benefit a wide range of individuals. They're particularly beneficial for those dealing with conditions like flat feet, plantar fasciitis, bunions, or general foot pain. They're also useful for athletes who require additional foot support or those who spend long hours on their feet. 


    However, as with any treatment, it's important to discuss your health history and current health status with a healthcare professional before starting. Our therapists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if custom orthotics are the right solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we understand that you may have questions about custom orthotics, especially if you're considering them for the first time. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. To help you understand more about custom orthotics, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions. These cover a range of topics from what to expect during the fitting process to the benefits of custom orthotics. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

  • How long does it take to get used to wearing custom orthotics?

    The adjustment period for wearing custom orthotics can vary from person to person. Some people may feel comfortable right away, while others may need a few weeks to adjust. It's generally recommended to gradually increase the time you wear your orthotics each day, starting with a few hours and working up to full-time use. 


    If you experience any discomfort or have concerns during this adjustment period, it's important to contact us. Our therapists can provide guidance and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your comfort.

  • How long do custom orthotics last?

    The lifespan of custom orthotics can vary depending on factors such as daily wear and tear, the materials used, and changes in your foot structure or needs. On average, custom orthotics can last between one to three years. 


    However, it's important to have your orthotics checked regularly by your therapist to ensure they're still providing the correct support and fit. If you notice any changes in your comfort or the condition of your orthotics, it's recommended to schedule an appointment for a reassessment.

  • Can I wear my custom orthotics in different shoes?

    Custom orthotics are designed to fit into your regular footwear. However, they may not fit properly in shoes with narrow toe boxes or high heels. It's best to bring a couple of pairs of your most commonly worn shoes to your fitting appointment. 


    This allows our therapists to ensure that your orthotics will fit properly in your shoes. If you frequently wear different types of shoes, such as dress shoes and athletic shoes, you may need more than one pair of orthotics.
