- Plantar fasciitis
- Shoe induced pain
- Strained muscles
- And much more
- Tendinopathy (Achilles, posterior tibialis, anterior tibialis, peroneus, etc.)

Advanced Scanning Technology
To determine the most appropriate course of treatment for your foot pain, we must first determine the cause of your pain. We do so with the use of The Orthotic Group’s GaitScan™ system. Though you may not end up needing orthotics, this diagnostic tool can help us figure out how best to help you. It has more than 4000 sensors that will analyse you as you walk.
From the information we get combined with your history and a comprehensive physical examination, we will give you a diagnosis for your problem. Then, we can determine the treatment that will work for you, which could include chiropractic, prescription orthotics or a combination of both.
