Drs. Tolbert and Greylock are the most experienced and qualified orthotic providers in Southwestern Ontario.  Orthopedically, we look at the biomechanics of the locomotor system. This means the function of your back, hips, knees, ankles and feet, which are intrinsically related.

     Orthotics, invented by Podiatrists, correct foot function and thereby relieve many foot conditions such as heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, bunions, calluses, and metatarsal pain. They also relieve many problems above the feet by correcting the foundation angles of the knees, hips, and back. Many patients attend our office to see if orthotic therapy would help painful conditions in those areas. 

     It should be known that all orthotics are not the same.  We use many laboratories in the United States and Canada, as well as our in-house laboratory to obtain the most appropriate orthotic for the patient's individual condition.  We follow-up on all devices to make sure they are as effective as possible.  Occasionally, adjustments must be made to the devise to allow for the patient's tolerance to correction.

     Custom Shoes are often the answer to deformities and arthritic conditions where orthotics are not effective or possible.  We provide custom shoes by casting the foot and sending those casts to the Custom Shoe maker most suitable for the type shoe needed.  We carry proper orthopedic and style shoes which have extra depth to accommodate orthotics and some foot deformities.
