How can we do what we do?
How Ashfield custom orthotics are always ready in days, not weeks!
custom orthotics based on a qualified assessment, 3D models of your feet and solid manufacturing
while some clinics double as shoe stores & sell things, here we simply concentrate on orthotics
we offer hands-on expertise, “head-down” concentration, an efficient 3D lab and a clinical focus
There are many ways to run a business: use distant labs, focus on retail sales, have more overhead, etc.
We simply don't do those things. Sore feet don’t wait, so why should you? We’re ready when you are.
Ashfield Orthotics: Your Regina-area pedorthic clinic that is fully 3D-ready,
from assessment to casting, design and manufacturing.
No wonder things can ‘misbehave’ or wear out there!
Bones, tendons, muscles, fat, ligaments, vessels, nerves, skin, joints. Weight bearing. Rotating. Under pressure. In motion, with internal & external forces. 1000s of steps per day (or night)!
Your Feet Work Hard
Orthotics
custom orthotics minimize pain, reduce tissue strain, promote balance and relieve harmful pressures so your hard-working feet, legs and joints can move properly, feel better and stay healthier for years
more than just aligning our feet, custom orthotics align muscles, bones & other connective tissues from the ground upwards
proper orthotics decrease pathological movements, reduce harmful pressure & optimize biomechanics
qualified manufacturers, according to insurers: pedorthists, podiatrists & orthotists
Pedorthists are uniquely trained to
focus on & assess biomechanics of the lower limbs
typically have science degrees (kinesiology, etc.)
appreciate the crucial footwear / foot interface
design and manufacture custom made orthotics
make footwear modifications (flares, buttresses, build ups, etc.)
Others may provide custom orthotics too, but…
We are covered as custom orthotic makers, footwear modifiers & shoe fitting experts
Certified pedorthist perform complete assessments, based on a referral or prescription from a physician, podiatrist, nurse practitioner or chiropractor with a preliminary diagnosis like plantar fasciitis or metatarsalgia, diabetes or arthritis
We do what podiatrists do in terms of properly assessing for orthotics, plus we manufacture
podiatrists do wound care and also assess for orthotics but often take longer & charge more
Our assessments are included in our orthotic price, with no extra fees, ever. (We do charge a casting fee but take it off from the final price,)
Benefit plans typically cover most of your custom orthotics price, if prescribed by your
physician
nurse practitioner
podiatrist
While chiropractors may assess for orthotics, they do not make orthotics & are less likely to be covered by insurance to dispense orthotics in Saskatchewan
What does all this cost?
We will always offer competitively priced orthotics
Custom foot orthotics can cost $500+ in the prairies, plus fees for visits & lab fees, for example
Many providers make you wait many weeks for appointments or the orthotics, shipped from out of province
With our way of working, less waiting & no extra fees, at Ashfield Orthotics we guarantee your satisfaction
Ashfield Orthotics is open “By Appointment Only” at 147B Albert Street North, between the Greens physiotherapy clinic & Midas
