Many people ask if custom orthotics will relieve their ankle pain. There are several ankle conditions that can be treated by custom-made foot orthotics and physiotherapy. Ankle pain is one of the many common complaints of patients who require custom foot orthotics. These may include ankle pain due to instability, ankle pain due to ankle arthritis, and ankle pain due to ankle tendonitis.

1. What is ankle pain?
Just as our foot, the ankle is also a complex system and structure of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Ankles and heels are the part of our foot that takes on most of our body weight. However, when any type of accident occurs like an accident, injury, or overuse, it becomes vulnerable and can cause or trigger ankle pain.
2. What causes ankle pain?
Most ankle pains are originated with some type of injury like roll over, twist or turn which then results in an ankle sprain, strain, or fractures. Ankle pain can also be caused due to conditions like arthritis or osteoarthritis.
Obese people are prone to generate knee, leg, and/ or ankle pain because of the increased body weight. Some jobs require people to stand, run and walk for long hours of shifts which can also be factored in as causes of ankle pain. Our team of pedorthists and physiotherapists will perform a thorough assessment and examination with the latest technologies to understand the root cause of the ankle pain and provide you with custom orthotics and physiotherapy treatment plans.

FAQs
1. Can my orthotics be repaired or get a service upgrade?
Of course, yes! Unless it is already broken or has encountered a major accident, your custom-made foot orthotics can be serviced and maintained for a long and durable life to support your foot with proper balance and posture. We, at BeActive Physiotherapy Oakville, believe in repairing, refurbishing, and reviving your custom-made orthotics instead of outright replacing them.
When to get my orthotics checked?
As we have previously mentioned, BeActive Physiotherapy Oakville always believes in refurbishing and repairing your orthotics, therefore, it is always recommended that you get your orthotics checked at least once per year. You may not notice anything unusual or wrong with your orthotics, but your pedorthist may. We are proud to always ensure that you’re getting absolute performance through custom-made orthotics.
Can children wear custom orthotics?
Until about the age of six, children usually don’t need orthotics. Keep an eye on their gait and study their foot alignment and arch to see if there are any abnormalities. If you do happen to see asymmetrical wear patterns or instability in standing, then it’s time to check with a pedorthist. Contact BeActive Physiotherapy Oakville to learn more about how you can help your child from an early age to avoid any major foot, ankle, or knee issues.
