Plantar Fasciitis Orthotics in Calgary
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. If you’re experiencing sharp or aching pain in the bottom of your heel—especially with your first steps in the morning—custom foot orthotics may help.
At Calgary Foot Orthotics, we provide custom plantar fasciitis orthotics in Calgary, designed using a biomechanical exam, gait analysis, and 3D digital foot scan.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis occurs when the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, becomes irritated due to repetitive strain or poor foot mechanics.
Common symptoms include:
- Heel pain, especially first thing in the morning
- Pain after prolonged standing or walking
- Tenderness along the arch or heel
- Discomfort that improves with movement but returns later
How Custom Orthotics May Help Plantar Fasciitis
Custom foot orthotics are designed to support your feet and improve how forces are distributed while standing and walking.
Plantar fasciitis orthotics may help by:
- Supporting the arch to reduce strain on the plantar fascia
- Improving foot alignment and biomechanics
- Reducing stress on the heel
- Improving walking comfort throughout the day
Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are made specifically for your feet based on a detailed assessment—not a generic template.
Our Assessment Process
Every plantar fasciitis orthotics assessment includes:
- Review of your symptoms and foot history
- Biomechanical exam and gait analysis
- 3D digital foot scan
- Custom fabrication through a Canadian orthotics laboratory, The Orthotics Group
- Fitting and guidance on how to gradually begin wearing your orthotics
Appointments typically take 30–45 minutes.

Custom orthotics may be appropriate if you:
- Have ongoing heel pain
- Spend long hours standing or walking
- Are active or participate in sports
- Have flat feet, high arches, or foot imbalance
- Have not found relief with generic insoles
An assessment helps determine whether custom orthotics are appropriate for your condition.
