Custom Orthotics in SW Edmonton

The foot is one of the most important structures in your body. The feet provide your foundation and transportation for a lifetime. However, hard surfaces at work and play — along with constrictive footwear — have produced a multitude of foot ailments that can affect your entire health and well-being.

Many foot problems are inherited, while others result from abnormal pressures that cause deformities to develop during childhood. Periodic examinations of a child’s feet during the growing years are vital to a child’s lifetime foot health. As a child, correction of a foot problem is easier to attain and much less costly and time-consuming.

Untreated foot disorders can cause painful complications. Bunions, corns, calluses, leg, and back disorders have been demonstrated to be the result of poor foot function. The problems can stop a person from participating in various work-related, social, or athletic activities. 

Therefore, treatment and correction of foot problems are best started at the earliest stages.  Most foot problems can be treated without surgery by a chiropractor, who can provide foot care to both children and adults.
