Custom Orthotics in Winnipeg
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts that are moulded to your feet, helping to relieve high pressure areas by stabilizing and cushioning your feet to restore normal gait. This helps to decrease joint and muscle pain in the lower body and back, and can be used to relieve symptoms of many common injuries including tendonitis, ankle injuries, metatarsalgia, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, diabetes, and more.
If you are experiencing pain while walking or running, while standing for long periods, or while playing sports, you may need custom orthotics. Orthotics come in a variety of styles and easily fit into dress or running shoes, work boots, hockey skates, and most other footwear.
Note: Orthotics will not permanently change your anatomy and will function only when you are standing or walking on them.

You may benefit from custom orthotics if you experience recurring foot, ankle, knee, hip, or lower back discomfort, especially while walking, running, standing for long periods, working on hard surfaces, or playing sports. An orthotic assessment can help determine whether custom foot support is the right option for your specific symptoms and footwear.

They are often used as part of a broader treatment plan that may also include physiotherapy, stretching, strengthening, footwear changes, and load management.
