2 Pedorthists available, on-site lab for fabrication, London ON
🇨🇦 owned, female owned and operated As Canadian Certified Pedorthists, C. Ped (C)'s, we specialize in custom made foot orthotics to relieve foot, ankle, knee and hip pain, as well as correcting gait abnormalities. After taking a medical history, assessing the lower limbs both weight bearing and non-weight bearing, we are able to video a person's gait to determine if custom made foot orthotics would be beneficial. We use our unique SOLE Technique to set us apart from other orthotic clinics. We provide stabilization using orthopaedic fundamentals of gait with our carefully layered and engineered technique to build your foot orthotics. We also have the training and capability to do footwear modifications (ie lifts, flares), and custom footwear. We can measure and fit for both Performance-Grade (15-20 mmHg) and Medical-Grade (20-30 and 30-40 mmHg) compression socks to help with your sore, swollen and tired legs. All work is done at our on-site lab. A physician's prescription is required for all custom made foot orthotics.

What makes Shantz Orthotic Solutions different? The way we cast your feet.

At Shantz Orthotic Solutions, every orthotic begins with a cast taken by hand, not a digital scan. While scanning technology is convenient, hands-on casting lets us truly understand your feet, ensuring every orthotic is custom-designed for you, not a template.

Hand casting allows our pedorthists to:
✔️ Control foot position and alignment
✔️ Capture subtle biomechanical details
✔️ Account for flexibility, pressure points, and deformities
✔️ Create a truly custom foundation based on how your feet function

Once your cast is complete, your orthotics are handcrafted in our on-site lab by our skilled pedorthists and technicians using our proprietary SOLE technology. From start to finish, there’s no outsourcing and no shortcuts. Just experience, precision, and care in every step.

Because when it comes to your feet, how the orthotic is made truly matters.

👣 Hand casted
👣 Custom built
👣 Crafted with purpose

Client question: why do ankles and feet hurt so much during menopause?

Joint pain is a common symptom experienced by many woman during and after menopause. This pain is often linked to the decline in estrogen levels, which can affect joint health and inflammation. While the exact mechanisms are still being researched, estrogen plays a role in maintaining cartilage, bone health, and reducing inflammation, all of which can be affected during menopause.
Menopause can cause hormonal changes that affect connective tissues and joints, leading to muscle aches, pains, and stiffness, including in the feet. Orthotics can be a valuable tool for managing foot pain during this time. Not only can they help redistribute the pressures on your feet, but can also provide stability to the joints and better alignment for the whole body.

While not all women experience joint pain, it's important to be aware of this potential symptom and discuss concerns with a healthcare professional.

Morton's neuroma is a painful condition that affects the ball of your foot (commonly between your third and fourth toes). If you have a Morton's neuroma it may feel as if you are standing on a pebble in your shoe or on a fold in your sock.

Morton's neuroma involves a thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes. This can cause a sharp, burning pain in the ball of your foot. You may have stinging, burning or numbness in the affected toes.

Typically you won't be able to feel the neuroma
but you may experience the following symptoms:
🦶A feeling as if you're standing on a pebble in your shoe
🦶A burning pain in the ball of your foot that may radiate into your toes
🦶Tingling or numbness in your toes
🦶Removing your shoe helps to relieve the pain

High-heeled or tight shoes have been linked to the development of Morton's neuroma. Many people experience relief by switching to lower heeled shoes with wider toe boxes. Custom-made orthotics with special support may help to releive the discomfort. However, in more severe cases, corticosteroid injections or surgery may be necessary.

Ever wondered what a pedorthist actually does? You’re not alone 👣

A Canadian Certified Pedorthist is an expert in lower limb care, specializing in the assessment of foot function, biomechanics, and movement. Pedorthists are uniquely trained to evaluate how your feet and lower limbs work together and to provide customized solutions that improve comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life.

Through the rigorous education and clinical standards set by the College of Pedorthics of Canada, pedorthists are highly skilled in designing, manufacturing, and fitting custom foot orthotics, as well as recommending proper footwear and modifications tailored to each individual. Many pedorthists are also trained in compression wear and lower limb bracing.

Retrocalcaneal bursitis 👣
Retrocalcaneal bursitis is a condition that causes heel pain. This pain spreads from the bursa located between the Achilles tendon and the heel bone. This bursa normally provides a cushion as you walk. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that helps reduce friction in areas that rub that are found all over your body.
🔹Symptoms: Can include severe pain and swelling in the heel, tenderness when the heel is touched, tight-fitting shoes may become hard to wear. You may also hear a crackling sound when you flex your foot.
🔹Risks: This type of bursitis is mainly caused by using the ankle a lot, such as running uphill. A sudden increase in running or similar activities can also lead to it. People who wear tight-fitting shoes while exercising are more prone to the condition as well as those who don’t stretch or warm up properly before such activities. Some cases may result from an infection or a disease such as arthritis.
🔹Treatment: The aim of treatment is to ease symptoms so that the bursa has time to heal. At-home and OTC treatment can help manage symptoms such as rest, ice, elevation, compression, and anti-inflammatory medication. Custom-made orthotics can be used to offload pressure on the heel. Properly fitted footwear is also important to ensure the shoe is not too tight and isn't rubbing on the heel. Gentle stretching movements can restore flexibility in your ankle and foot and can also help with pain.

Well, if you had fun socks like we do, then you would think the same! But these aren't any old socks... they are actually compression socks!⁣⠀
⁣⠀
𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴? ⁣⠀
⁣Well, many people! Christy wears hers often as she’s on her feet all day. Many nurses, physician, teachers, factory workers also wear them because they spend the majority of time on their feet. But you'll also find anyone who is getting swelling in their lower legs/ankles or has painful vericose veins will find relief wearing compression stockings. Now a days, athletes are often wearing these socks as well to help reduce swelling and cramping. Even people travelling on airplanes find comfort wearing a compression sock.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘥𝘰?⁣⠀
⁣Compression stockings help the blood pump back to the heart, rather than allowing pooling in the legs. They help control swelling and aching of the legs and ankles, and help slow the appearance of vericose and/or spider veins in the legs.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
𝘋𝘰 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘤𝘳𝘪𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯?⁣⠀
⁣There are different grades of compression stockings. For "over-the-counter" socks, the compression grade is 15-20 mmHg, and these can be purchased without a medical prescription. We often recommend these for long flights or mild activity.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Anything classed over 20 mmHg, has a higher compression on the leg and must be prescribed by a physician. These are more for people with (or preventing) vericose veins, lots of swelling of legs or ankles, people who spend lots of time on their feet.⁣⠀
⁣⠀
𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭?⁣⠀
⁣Definitely not. We work with companies that take several measurements into consideration with their sizes. Not all legs are the same and in order for the compression socks to provide the best (and full leg) compression, they must fit properly.⁣⠀
