Why Your Feet Matter More Than You Think?

Your feet are the foundation of your entire body. When they’re not properly aligned, it can create a chain reaction of issues, knee pain, hip discomfort, back strain, and even headaches. That’s why we take a whole-body approach to assessing and treating foot problems. With the latest technology now in our clinic, we can identify imbalances faster and prescribe solutions that work.

Introducing the OH1 App and GaitScan™

1. OH1 App – Digital 3D Foot Scanner

The OH1 App is a cutting-edge digital scanner that captures a 3D model of your foot in just seconds. Using your smartphone or tablet, we scan your foot from multiple angles to create a detailed image of its structure. This non-invasive, quick, and highly accurate tool helps us:

Measure arch height, width, and length
Detect deformities or irregularities
Track progress over time
Send precise digital data for orthotic fabrication

2. GaitScan™ Technology – Real-Time Pressure Mapping

While the OH1 app shows us the structure, GaitScan™ shows us function.

With over 4,000 pressure sensors, this pressure plate system records how you walk and stand in real time. It measures:

Pressure distribution across your foot
Timing and movement patterns during your gait cycle
Imbalances or asymmetries between left and right feet

These insights help us pinpoint biomechanical issues that may be affecting your posture, joint function, or performance.

What to Expect in Your Foot Assessment

Here’s how we combine these technologies with our expert clinical assessment:

In-Clinic Evaluation – We begin with a chiropractic review of your posture, alignment, and physical complaints.
OH1 Scan – We take a digital 3D scan of each foot.
GaitScan™ Analysis – You walk across our sensor pad, and we analyze how your feet move and absorb pressure.
Personalized Report & Prescription – Based on your results, we recommend custom orthotics, orthopedic shoes, or lifestyle modifications to improve foot function and reduce pain.

Covered by Extended Health Benefits

The best part? Most extended health insurance plans cover custom orthotics and orthopedic shoes separately from your chiropractic benefits. That means you may not have to pay out of pocket for the support your body needs.

We can provide you with detailed documentation and reports to support your insurance claim and make the process as smooth as possible.

Who Can Benefit?

Whether you’re a runner, someone who stands all day, or simply dealing with recurring back or foot pain, this technology is for you. Common issues we assess and treat with custom orthotics include:

Flat feet or fallen arches
Plantar fasciitis
Heel spurs
Knee or hip misalignment
Sciatica
Chronic lower back pain
