Almost anyone can benefit from orthotics, from
children to adults. However, because
everyone’s feet are unique, orthotics should be
specifically designed and custom made for you.
Our orthotics are made
using the latest
technology in orthotic
casting, giving you an
exact fit for your feet.
Why Wear Orthotics?
Biomechanical changes in your feet and ankles
can create conditions such as flat feet, ankle
pronation, hallux valgus and bunions. Wearing
orthotics can reduce the effects of these
changes on your feet, knees, hips and back;
and support your alignment.

Back Pain is a major
Health Issue for Ontario
Back pain can result from many causes,
including: muscle strain; restrictions in
the movement of the spinal joints or
pelvis (sacroiliac joints); lifting; disc
injuries; and weakness of the core
muscles which support your lower back.
Sometimes lower back problems can
cause pain, tingling or numbness in your
legs and feet. Your chiropractor can
examine you correctly to determine the
cause of your pain and recommend
treatment.
The experts report:
• The Public Health Agency of Canada
found that, in 2008, the direct
costs (i.e., drug, hospital, and
physician care) of LBP care in
Ontario amounted to more than
$390 million.[iii]
• In 2012 nearly 20% of Ontarians
reported that their back problems
were chronic.[ii]
• In 2013 the WSIB reported that over
the previous 10 years, LBP was
the leading part of the body
injured, accounting for 17-18% of
lost time claims.[iv]
If you experience back pain that lasts for
more than a few days, consult your
chiropractor.

Our Patients Say… I was finding that my low back pain was adversely affecting both my work and my personal life. I went to Dr. Doyle as I had heard that NUCCA was gentle and effective. My back is no longer bothering me and regular adjustments keep me tuned up. -‐ John, age 61, and a patient since 2002 Home Exercises for Back Pain Recommended exercises for back pain
are some of the following.
Exercise 1: Knee to Chest
Starting Position: Lie on your back on a
table or firm surface.
Action: Clasp your hands behind the
thigh and pull it towards your chest. Keep
the opposite leg flat on the surface of the
table Maintain the position for 30
seconds. Switch legs and repeat.
