Orthotics in Whitby

As you grow older, your body loses its stability and your feet wear its energy. Along with that, getting an injury during your everyday activities is more likely to happen. When that occurs, pain shoots up in your body and you might take a long time to recover. This is when you’d need orthotics.

Orthotics deals with designing, manufacturing, and managing orthoses — medical devices that are typically worn to protect an injured part of the body and limit its movement. These also help in realigning the body and assisting deformities in knees, spine, and foot.

The Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centres (PARC) of Ontario in Whitby, Ontario is a trusted medical centre in Canada if you need high-quality orthoses. Our medical team is always prepared and attentive to your needs to help you achieve comfort and reduce bodily pain.

How Do You Know if You Need Orthotics?

On most days, you wouldn’t need some medical wearable when you’re moving just fine. But sometimes, you might end up stumbling unexpectedly while walking and end up twisting your ankle. This is one reason for needing orthotics. Here are some of the other reasons for needing one:

When your job requires you to stand for long hours in a day.
When you’ve experienced a lower back injury.
When you have diabetic foot complications.
When the soles of your shoes wear unevenly.
When the pain in the heels of your foot is painful.

It would be best to stop ignoring the pain and talk to a doctor to relieve your symptoms. At PARC, we always do our best to give you the proper orthoses for your comfort.

How to Fit Orthotics

Every kind of orthotic you see has its own way of fitting into your body. Some orthotics are meant for the feet, back, neck, and other body parts. The best thing to do when using these items is to follow the instructions. However, it’s still important to have basic knowledge in fitting your orthoses for your everyday needs.

If your orthoses are to be worn on your feet, you have to remove the insoles of your shoes to make them fit. Some foot orthotics are longer than the actual length of your foot, so you have to cut some parts of it. For neck and back braces, make sure that they fit on your body first before locking them.

Here in PARC of Ontario in Whitby, our medical staff works with you to get you tailor-fit orthoses. We always make sure to fulfill your request guided by a prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
