Custom Orthotics In Toronto
Looking for reliable custom orthotics in Toronto? Restoracare has got you covered. Our clinic provide the best custom-made orthotics, tailored to your specific needs and foot conditions
Introduction to Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts that improve foot health by correcting poor foot mechanics. Unlike generic insoles, they offer targeted support to relieve pain and enhance mobility. By stabilizing your foundation, they help with balance and posture.
When your feet are out of alignment, the effects travel upward. Small imbalances can cause strain in your knees, hips, and lower back. Over time, this stress leads to pain, muscle fatigue, and joint issues. Addressing foot orthotics early helps prevent long-term discomfort.
Custom orthotics at Restoracare Health in Toronto provide personalised support for foot pain, plantar fasciitis, and knee pain. Our biomechanical assessment ensures each orthotic is tailored to your specific needs. With most extended health plans covering the cost, quality foot care is within reach.

Benefits of Our Custom Orthotics
A well-designed pair of custom foot orthotics does more than relieve pain—it enhances mobility, improves alignment, and supports foot health. Our orthotics provide:
- Personalised support tailored to your specific needs
- Improved foot function and proper alignment to reduce stress on joints
- Better comfort in different types of footwear, from dress shoes to sneakers
- Long-term relief from conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and arthritis
- Prevention of recurring issues by addressing the root cause of poor foot mechanics
With the right treatment plan, you can improve your gait, balance, and lower limb function while reducing strain on your knees, hips, and other regions. Our custom orthotics are designed to enhance movement, reduce discomfort, and promote better foot health for years to come.
Common Conditions Orthotics Can Help
Taking care of your feet is essential to overall body alignment. The right orthotic prescription provides lasting relief, whether you’re managing a common condition or preventing future problems.
Plantar Fasciitis and Heel Pain
Inflammation of the plantar fascia causes sharp, stabbing pain, especially in the morning. Custom orthotics cushion the heel and support the arch, reducing strain and discomfort.
Flat Feet and Over-Pronation
Without proper arch support, flat feet cause over-pronation, leading to stress on the lower limbs. Orthotics can help by restoring alignment and improving shock absorption.
Balance, Gait, and Joint Stress
Uneven body weight distribution affects stability and movement. Proper gait analysis ensures a treatment plan that enhances comfort and mobility.
Relief for Knee Pain, Achilles Tendonitis, and Arthritis
Misalignment increases strain on the knees, hips, and ankles, contributing to chronic pain. Custom-made orthotics reduce pressure on joints and improve weight distribution. Supportive insoles ease tension on the Achilles tendon, reducing inflammation and discomfort.
The Restoracare Approach to Custom Orthotics
At Restoracare Health, we take a detailed approach to custom orthotics to ensure the best possible fit and function. Every patient receives a comprehensive biomechanical assessment to evaluate how their feet support their body weight and impact overall movement.
A gait analysis helps us identify abnormalities in walking patterns, which could contribute to foot pain, knee pain, and other conditions.
We use cutting-edge 2D & 3D scanning applications to capture precise foot measurements. These advanced tools help us design custom-made orthotics that fit seamlessly into your shoes, whether they’re dress shoes, sneakers, or running shoes.
Our assessment doesn’t stop at the feet—we conduct a lower kinetic assessment, examining the hips, knees, ankles, and feet to ensure proper alignment and balance.
With years of experience, Dr. Dan Dao and Dr. Tim Lau have helped countless patients by designing orthotics that relieve pain and enhance mobility.
Their expertise in manual casting, foam box techniques, and digital scanning technology ensures that each pair of orthotics is optimised for comfort and support.
