Orthotics are customized foot supports that are used for correcting many problems related to your health. Back, neck, hip, knee and foot pain can all be related to how your foot supports your body and how the shocks of weight bearing are transferred up through your body as you move. If you are walking incorrectly, your entire body can be out of alignment causing all types of problems.
Dr. McCallum uses the latest computerized Footmaxx System for gait analysis. With this system, you walk over a computerized mat that measures how you walk – what part of your foot is on the ground at any given time, how fast you walk, how much weight is transferred through your foot and if you are balanced and steady on your feet.
This detailed scan will tell you if you are a candidate for orthotics. Footmaxx uses the information from the scan to make extremely accurate, comfortable, and effective orthotics that don't just support your arches, but that actually help your feet, gait and posture improve. Most orthotics are made from a negative mold or cast based on the shape of your dysfunctional foot. Footmaxx orthotics are based on how your foot works not on its shape. The orthotic module is designed to correct balance issues, weight bearing, improve stability during pronation and improve gait timing.
Footmaxx come in a variety of shapes, covers and modules that are flexible,versatile and functional. There are models that fit into women's and men's dress shoes, skates, golf shoes, and pretty much any kind of shoe you can think of!
Footmaxx orthotics are used by many professional sports team and are experts in improving athletic performance for professionals and amateurs alike.
No one understands body mechanics better than a chiropractor, so when you combine Dr. McCallum's ten years of orthotic experience with chiropractic knowledge, you get a great product with great results.
Orthotics are covered under most extended health plans.
