Orthopaedic shoes : types and benefits - Ottawa Foot Clinic
The Ottawa Foot Clinic offers a specialized service in orthopaedic shoes, designed to address various plantar deformities and mechanical abnormalities of the foot and leg. These conditions, if untreated, can lead to chronic pain and musculoskeletal compensation. Our podiatrists assess individual needs and prescribe different types of orthopaedic shoes tailored to specific requirements. Options include street shoes suitable for office environments, children’s shoes for early correction of deformities, work shoes for active individuals, custom-made shoes for severe issues, and prefabricated options for less bothersome conditions. Each type of shoe is crafted to provide support, stability, and comfort, helping to alleviate pain and improve mobility.
