Custom Orthotics in Lethbridge
When discomfort begins in your feet, it can affect how your entire body moves. Issues such as plantar fasciitis, recurring ankle sprains, or ongoing heel pain may place extra strain on the knees, hips, and lower back. At Parascak Family Chiropractic, we take a whole body view of movement, starting with how your feet interact with the ground.
Building a Strong Foundation for Better Movement
Your feet absorb impact with every step. When they are not moving well, your body may compensate in ways that affect posture and alignment. Custom orthotics are designed to help improve foot mechanics, which can influence how force travels through the ankles, knees, hips, and spine.
During your assessment, Dr. Brad Parascak completes a detailed biomechanical evaluation in the office. This includes observing how you stand, walk, and move, which helps him provide recommendations tailored to your needs.
How Custom Orthotics May Help
The orthotics we provide through our partner, The Orthotic Group, are made in a specialized lab in Markham, Ontario. They are designed with a supportive shell that provides stability when standing while allowing flexibility during movement.
Custom orthotics are commonly considered for concerns such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Heel pain or heel spurs
- Mortons neuroma
- Recurring ankle inversion sprains
- Ongoing foot or lower extremity strain
When combined with chiropractic care at Parascak Family Chiropractic, orthotics can be part of a broader approach to improving movement and alignment.
Many patients are surprised to learn how much their foot mechanics influence overall posture and joint stress. Addressing the foundation may help reduce recurring strain patterns over time.
