Orthotics
Custom Orthotic Solutions
Your feet provide the foundation for every step you take. When foot mechanics are compromised, the effects can extend far beyond the feet and ankles, contributing to pain and dysfunction throughout the knees, hips, and lower back.
At Lockport Family Chiropractic, we use the Footmaxx Custom Orthotic System to evaluate gait patterns, identify biomechanical imbalances, and create custom orthotic solutions designed specifically for your needs.
Plantar Fasciitis
Custom orthotics help support the arch of the foot and reduce excessive strain on the plantar fascia, a common source of heel pain. By improving foot mechanics and distributing pressure more evenly, orthotics can help reduce discomfort.
Flat Feet & High Arches
Whether you have fallen arches (pes planus) or excessively high arches (pes cavus), improper foot mechanics can contribute to pain and instability throughout the body. Custom orthotics provide personalized support to improve alignment.
Overpronation
When the feet roll excessively inward or outward during walking, stress can be placed on the ankles, knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics help correct these movement patterns and promote more efficient biomechanics with every step.
Achilles Tendonitis
Poor foot alignment can increase strain on the Achilles tendon and surrounding structures. Custom orthotics help improve foot stability and reduce stress on the ankle complex, potentially helping to decrease pain and improve movement.
Knee Pain & Shin Splints
Many cases of knee pain and shin splints originate from abnormal foot mechanics. By improving lower limb alignment and reducing excessive stress during walking and exercise, custom orthotics may help relieve discomfort and support performance.
Lower Back Pain & Arthritis
The feet serve as the foundation of the body’s kinetic chain. When alignment issues begin at the feet, the effects can travel upward into the knees, hips, and lower back. Custom orthotics help improve posture and weight distribution,
Building Better Movement From The Ground Up
Proper foot function plays a critical role in overall alignment, balance, and movement. Even small abnormalities in the way your feet move can place additional stress on joints, muscles, and ligaments throughout the body.
Using advanced computerized gait analysis, our chiropractors assess how your feet function while walking and standing. This detailed information allows us to develop customized orthotics designed to improve support, comfort, and overall biomechanics.

FOOTMAXX TECHNOLOGY
Advanced Gait Analysis Technology
Following a physical examination, your chiropractor will perform a computerized gait analysis using the Footmaxx Custom Orthotic System.
By walking across a pressure-sensitive scanning platform, a detailed digital map of your foot mechanics is generated. This technology allows us to identify abnormal pressure patterns, gait abnormalities, and movement deficiencies that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Using this information, a custom orthotic prescription can be developed based on your unique foot structure, activity level, and health goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Advanced Gait Analysis Technology
Your appointment begins with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, health history, posture, and movement patterns. Your chiropractor will discuss your concerns, evaluate how your feet and lower extremities function, and determine whether custom orthotics may be beneficial for your condition.
Step 2: Footmaxx Computerized Gait Analysis
Using the Footmaxx Custom Orthotic System, you will walk across a pressure-sensitive scanning platform that captures detailed information about how your feet move during gait. This advanced technology generates a computerized map of pressure distribution, weight transfer, and biomechanical function, helping identify abnormalities that may be contributing to pain or dysfunction.
Step 3: Personalized Orthotic Prescription
Your chiropractor will carefully review the results of your examination and gait analysis to determine the most appropriate orthotic solution for your needs. Factors such as foot structure, activity level, occupation, lifestyle, and specific health concerns are considered when developing your custom orthotic prescription.
Step 4: Custom Fabrication & Fitting
Your orthotics are manufactured according to your unique prescription and foot measurements. Once they arrive, we will ensure they fit properly within your footwear and provide the support and correction required for optimal comfort and function.
