Certified Orthotists

Why you need to be assessed by a Certified Orthotist

The provision of foot orthoses is not controlled or monitored by The Ministry of Health. There exists a large number of the population with foot pain, yet few regulations, therefore many people are providing foot orthoses. However, NOT ALL PROVIDERS ARE CREATED EQUAL. It is the patients' responsibility to educate themselves and to take an active role in their own treatment plan.

· Certified Orthotists are hightly trained, certified experts in the specialized field of custom orthoses. Although there are many avenues to access a variety of orthotic devices, a certified specialist will ensure treatment is a part of your overall medical evaluation and long-term management.

· Certified Orthotists look much deeper than the single injury or chronic ailment. They will consider the underlying medical cause and resulting effects of the problem, as well as the overall health and lifestyle of the patient to help define the requirements of the orthopedic appliance, protective device or brace.
