Orthotics and foot support in the Annex

Your feet are the foundation your spine stands on. Orthotics aren't a core part of my care, and I don't recommend them to everyone. When your evaluation, your lifestyle and your history point to your feet, custom or ready-made support may be worth considering.

Who it's for

Is this for you?

  • Feet that feel unsupported by everyday shoes
  • Some over-pronation, where the ankle rolls inward
  • People who stand, walk or run a lot
  • Active people who want to keep moving

How I use it

I only suggest orthotics when your assessment shows a reason to. If I don't think you need them, I'll tell you.

Made for your feet

Custom-made orthotics

Custom-made orthotics are thin inserts that support the way your feet meet the ground. Because your feet carry everything above them, that support can make a difference to how you stand and move.

To make them, we analyze the way you walk and how well your feet are functioning. Then we take a 3D impression of each foot and talk through the orthotic that will work best for you.

They slip into shoes you already own. If you prefer, you can order brand-name shoes with the orthotics built right in.

Ready to go

Superfeet and Sidas insoles

These ready-made insoles can suit people with an unsupported foot or some over-pronation, and people who spend a lot of time on their feet. Many find them more comfortable than the insoles that came with their shoes.

You can buy them from the brands' online retailers or, for a personalized fit, at the local, long-established Runner's Shop.

Now in the clinic

VoxxLife insoles and socks

We now carry VoxxLife insoles and socks. Each product is woven with a tactile pattern called Voxx HPT. VoxxLife says contact with this pattern stimulates the touch and position receptors on the soles of your feet, which send information to your brain about where you are in space.

All you do is wear them. The range includes wellness and casual socks, athletic and lifestyle socks, and insoles.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need custom orthotics?

Not always. Your chiropractic assessment, lifestyle and history tell us whether ready-made insoles, custom orthotics or neither makes sense.

Will they fit my shoes?

Custom orthotics slip into shoes you already own. You can also order brand-name shoes with the orthotics built in.

Where can I buy Superfeet or Sidas?

From the brands' online retailers or, for a personalized fit, at the Runner's Shop.
