1. Initial Consultation and History:
During your initial consultation, one of our clinical practitioners will review your medical history, including any past injuries or surgeries and any current conditions that might be relevant. They will also discuss with you any specific pain, discomfort, or functional limitations that you hope to address with orthotics. Additionally, they will want to understand your daily activities and footwear habits to determine the type of orthotic that best suits your needs.
2. Biomechanical Assessment:
Your biomechanics assessment will include:
Gait Analysis - to observe your gait walking pattern and identify any biomechanical issues
Foot Structure and Alignment - to assess the structure and alignment of your feet, ankles, and lower limbs,
Range of Motion Testing- to test your range of motion in your feet and ankles to identify any limitations and finally,
Muscle Strength Testing- to identify any imbalances.
3. Foot Scan or Casting (If Orthotics are Recommended):
At our clinic our practitioners will use either our new 3D Foot Scan (a specialized scanner may be used to create a 3D model of your feet, capturing their unique shape and contours) or alternatively Foot Casting (a foam cast may be taken of your feet to create a mold for the orthotics).
4. Recommendations and Next Steps:
Discussion of Findings: The practitioner will discuss their findings and explain whether custom orthotics are recommended and why. If orthotics are recommended, the practitioner will discuss the type of orthotics that would best suit your needs and the design process. If you choose to proceed with custom orthotics, the practitioner will order them and explain the fabrication process and timeline. Once the orthotics are fabricated, you'll have a follow-up appointment to try them on, make any necessary adjustments, and receive instructions on how to break them in and care for them.
During a custom orthotic assessment, expect a thorough evaluation of your feet, gait, and related issues, possibly including a review of your medical history, a biomechanical assessment, and potentially a foot scan or casting to create a 3D model for custom orthotics.
