At Clayton Heights Chiropractic we are aligned with The Orthotic Group. We have the tools to do both digitally accessed foot gait analysis and also the traditional foot mold analysis..
Custom Orthotics are excellent for people who spend a lot of time on their feet or who have specific foot pain issues. When you come to the office you will have a consultation with the Chiropractor about the specific pain you are feeling and when you feel it the most. The doctor will then examine your feet and perform a gait analysis to determine the biomechanics of key anatomical points in your foot throughout your walking gait. This analysis is then sent to The Orthotic Group. Your chiropractor will consult with the specialists at The Orthotic Group to give them more information about your particular condition to ensure your custom orthotics will provide you with maximum relief for your particular condition.
What to Expect From Custom Orthotics
At Clayton Heights Chiropractic, we offer specialized custom orthotics gait analysis to individuals in Cloverdale, Langley, and surrounding areas to help improve your spinal health. Our feet play a crucial role in our overall well-being, and research shows that poor foot mechanics can contribute to low back pain and sciatica. As chiropractors, we’ve seen how custom orthotics can ease these problems by addressing the connections between your feet, ankles, and spine. To determine the best treatment for you, we start with a thorough gait analysis. This assessment examines every aspect of your foot movement, from heel strike to toe-off. Our unique approach allows us to provide you with personalized orthotics that can make a real difference to your comfort and mobility.
Benefits of Custom Orthotics for Spine Health
Custom orthotics can benefit spine health by addressing foot, ankle, and spinal column connections. We use kinetic gait analysis to create orthotics that support and correct posture, following sports medicine principles. Our custom orthotics help prevent injuries, reduce pain, and improve alignment for better spine health and function. You’ll experience targeted support that promotes proper posture from the ground up, enhancing your overall spinal wellbeing.
The Gait Analysis Process
Our professionals at Clayton Heights Chiropractic begin our gait analysis by speaking with you about your medical history and activities to understand your foot and ankle health. Then, we assess any pain you’re experiencing and look at your shoes for potential problems. We combine this information with data from our gait plate to accurately measure how your feet move as you walk. Then we do a 3D digital imaging for your feet, this state of the art technology helps us to build the most accurate and comfortable orthotic possible. Combining the 3D digital imaging and the gait analysis helps us create a tailored treatment plan for unique to you and your foot issues.
How Gait Analysis Works
We analyze how you walk to help with foot pain and related problems. Our foot scanning and gait analysis give us the information we need to create 3D-printed orthotics just for you. These custom insoles are designed to support and correct your specific walking issues, helping to ease your discomfort. And they can easily be moved into a variety of shoes or sneakers.
