Our Custom Orthotics Process
At East Canyon Chiropractic, we take a thorough and methodical approach to custom foot orthotic fitting. Before any orthotics are made, our team conducts a comprehensive examination and evaluation of your feet, gait, and overall lower extremity biomechanics. This evaluation allows us to identify any structural imbalances, areas of excessive pressure, or movement patterns that may be contributing to your pain or discomfort. Only after this careful assessment are your custom orthotics fabricated — ensuring a precise fit that delivers the support your feet truly need.
