Custom Orthotics Mississauga
What are Custom-Made Orthotics?
Custom Orthotics are medical devices made specifically for your feet, based on how you walk and how your body distributes pressure. They are often thought of as 'extra cushioning', but their role goes well beyond that. They're designed to:
-
Distribute pressure more evenly
-
Reduce strain on painful or overworked areas
-
Improve alignment while walking and standing
-
Make movement feel more natural and comfortable
In many cases, foot pain isn't just about the foot itself. It's about how forces move through your body with each step. Over time, small imbalances can lead to discomfort not only in the feet, but also in the knees, hips, or lower back.
Custom Orthotics work by gently guiding the foot into a more supported position. This can improve how your foot contacts the ground, reduce excess strain on certain tissues, and make everyday movement more comfortable.
They can also be designed to:
-
Provide targeted cushioning and shock absorption
-
Relieve pressure from sensitive or prominent areas
-
Support a more balanced walking pattern
Orthotics can be made to fit most types of shoes styles or sneakers.
At our Mississauga Foot Clinic, the focus is always on understanding the root cause first, and then deciding whether orthotics are the right fit for you.
Orthotics can particularly help with the following:
-
Flat feet or high arch foot malalignment
-
Injuries or pain from running
-
Heel spur syndrome
-
Achilles tendonitis
-
Tarsal tunnel syndrome
-
Metatarsalgia or pain under the ball of foot
-
Posterior tibial tendonitis
-
Knee pain related to alignment

Orthotics at our Mississauga Foot Clinics
Custom foot orthotics will be made by either making a foot impression using cast material or using the latest 3D laser scanning technique, as we have both techniques available at our Mississauga Foot Clinic. The impressions taken would duplicate any misalignments or defects present in the foot. The Chiropodists will then place the finished orthotics in the shoes to help keep the feet in proper alignment.
