Custom Orthotics

Support From the Ground Up

Custom orthotics are inserts made to the shape and mechanics of your feet, designed to support the arch, control excess motion and reduce strain on the joints above. They are commonly used for flat feet, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, shin splints, and knee, hip and low-back pain linked to foot mechanics.

At McKenzie Lake Chiropractic we assess how you stand, walk and wear your shoes, then take a precise impression of your feet for fabrication.

Many extended health plans in Alberta cover custom orthotics. We provide the documentation your insurer requires.

FAQ

Common Questions

Are custom orthotics covered by insurance?2026-10-13T13:37:40+00:00

Many extended health plans cover custom orthotics, often with a set amount per year and specific documentation requirements. We provide what your insurer needs; check your plan for coverage details.

How long do orthotics last?2026-10-13T13:37:39+00:00

Typically one to three years depending on activity and wear. We can check them at follow-up visits.

Will orthotics fix my back pain?2026-10-13T13:37:38+00:00

If foot mechanics are contributing, orthotics may help reduce strain on the low back. They are most effective combined with care for the back itself.

No referral is needed to book an orthotics assessment at our clinic, though some insurers require a prescription — we’ll advise you.
