Performance Orthotic’s state of the art technology and unique blend of materials provides patients the best orthotic device on the market today, while allowing patients the versatility of wearing their orthotics in a wide variety of shoes. Taking into consideration the needs of the patient i.e presenting diagnosis, symptoms, activity levels, weight, age, and daily styles of shoes, will determine the style of orthotic the patient is prescribed.Performance Orthotic’s technology focuses on a dynamic computerized weight bearing pressure/time analysis. From this information, an orthotic is then custom designed in our lab in Ajax, Ontario Canada to correct the patient’s abnormal foot function. The orthotics are made from a proprietary blend of materials such as graphite, fibreglass, polyethelene and polypropolene. Using these materials allows us to make the orthotic thin enough to go into several shoes while maintaining its strength and durability.One of the most gratifying aspects that our trained and Certified Performance Clinicians see is so many patients who suffer from a wide variety of orthopedic complaints, such as knee and hip pain, recover completely after having the faulty biomechanics of their feet corrected.About 70 percent of all common foot pain, including osteoarthritis, is caused by abnormal biomechanical forces. And, just as faulty wheel alignment in a car can result in tire wear and tear, the abnormal forces due to misalignment affecting your lower limbs can cause early wear and tear in the joints of the feet. Foot problems can create havoc and pain in the entire body.However, with proper mechanical adjustments, like wearing custom orthotics further wear and tear can be prevented, and pain can be drastically reduced, or even eliminated altogether in many cases.
