How Custom Orthotics Help Knee Pain and Improve Mobility
**Key Takeaways**
- **Custom orthotics can reduce knee pain** by improving how your foot and lower limb align and load. - **Better mobility starts at the ground up**—orthotics help stabilise your gait for easier walking and daily movement. - **A proper assessment matters**: we look beyond the knee to find the root cause in your foot mechanics. - **Comfort is built in**: orthotics are designed to fit your lifestyle and tolerance, not just a template.

Why Do Heels Hurt Walking? Causes and Relief.
**Key Takeaways**
- Heel pain when walking is often linked to plantar fasciitis, fat-pad issues, or Achilles tightness—not just “bad shoes.” - Your gait, foot mechanics, and footwear can overload the heel**, especially with flat feet or worn-out soles. - Nerve-related causes (like neuropathy) can mimic “heel” pain** and need a different approach. Early assessment helps prevent chronic flare-ups, especially for active adults and seniors in St. Catharines. - Relief usually involves targeted stretching/strength, footwear changes, and—when needed—orthotic support. At the Canadian Foot Clinic & Orthotic Centre, we see how everyday factors—from job demands and uneven indoor surfaces to footwear that doesn’t match your foot type—can drive heel pain and keep it coming back, including in the Niagara Region. Our clinicians use a thorough assessment to identify the most likely cause (and rule out red flags), then guide you toward practical, evidence-informed relief strategies you can feel in daily life. *Disclaimer: For general informational purposes only.
