Approximately eighty percent of the population could benefit from orthotics to correct the dysfunction present in the arches of their feet. Uncorrected, this leads to chronic back, knee, hip and foot pain as well as headaches, poor posture and degenerative changes. In addition, your athletic performance, whether competitive or recreational, will be affected. Certified by the Canadian Institute of Biomechanics, Dr. Zielonka can take the guesswork out of orthotics by utilizing the TQ1000 Laser (the only one in Ottawa), and the TOG Gaitscan (the most advanced computerized gait analysis in existence).
Selecting the correct orthotics
When the proper orthotic has been selected for you, a world of difference can occur. This is especially true for active people and/or for those who have had difficulty with orthotics in the past.
Selecting the right orthotic begins with consultation by Dr. Zielonka (certified by the Canadian Institute of Biomechanics in diagnosis and fitting of custom made orthotics,) and his well trained, qualified team of assistants. A wide selection of samples are available for viewing in our office from our specialized labs in Toronto. Our state-of-the-art TQ1000 laser (the only one of it's kind in Ottawa) is then used to quantify the exact degree of overpronation and your need for orthotics. Our TQ1000 Laser is also used after your orthotics are completed to ensure they are providing the necessary correction, support and comfort.
