Custom Knee brace measuring!!

If you have been into our clinic for a custom ligament or OA knee brace, chances are you have had one of the measuring tools strapped to you, or been 3D scanned. Each company has a different way of measuring, all yielding great results. These tools allow us to capture specific measurements and contours of the leg and knee to have a custom brace specific to your leg shape.
If you are in need of a functional ligament or unloading brace for one or both of your knees, call or book an appointment online to see if a custom knee brace is a good option of you!

My hand and fingers are going numb when I'm sleeping!!!

One thing that we see quite often in clinic is clients presenting with numbness and pain in their hands and fingers that can wake them up from a deep sleep. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve running through the "carpal tunnel" of the wrist gets inflamed, irritated or impinged. One cause of this could be from your wrist being fully flexed or extended while sleeping, cutting off the pathway to the hands and fingers thus causing numbness and tingling.
One way that is effective in combating this is to immobilize the wrist in a straight position at night to keep the nerve from getting impinged.

If you are having carpal tunnel like symptoms it may be wise to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis, and after we can book you in to see if a carpal tunnel brace may work for you!

The all new Push Aequi Flex ankle brace!!

The new sleek and supportive ankle brace design from Push Braces is available now! It has a great combination of functionality along with inversion and eversion stability. This means that no inhibition is felt during normal walking and running. The Push Aequi is worn over the sock, and optimal stabilization can only be achieved if it is worn with a lace up shoe or hiker.

If you or someone you know has had a resent ankle sprain, or has been known to repetitively roll their ankle the Push Aequi flex may be a great option. Call or book an appointment online to see if this brace is a good option for you.

Another great review!

"Love my new orthotics for flat feet. It is the second time I have dealt with high tech and both were great experiences. They are thorough and the orthotics are well made. Pricing is competitive from what I know. Definitely recommend!"

Thanks Elise and everyone else who has put in a google review. We always love to hear how your experience in our clinic was so we can continue to improve and help you through your recovery.

Having issues with your shoe fitting in all the right places?

Did you know you can drastically change how a shoe feels by changing the lacing pattern! We recommend untying and retying your lace up shoes every time you take them off and put them back on, but on top of this, by creating "windows" on the tongue by skip lacing can help take pressure off of the forefoot or the instep if it feels to tight. If you notice the heel is sliding out of the shoe a heel lock technique could help keep the heel down and foot from floating within the shoe.

There are many more lacing combinations to help with a variety of concerns, so if you are having any of the above issues it may be a perfect time to try these out!

The Tulis heel cup!

If the natural fat pad is either atrophied or dispersed it can cause pain in the heel when running, walking and standing. Tuli makes a great heel cup with a gel waffle shape design to help absorb shock. They are small and portable so it can be transferred from shoe to shoe easily. We recommend wearing the heel cup directly on the foot or sock, allowing close contact for better shock absorption.

If you are dealing with heel pain call or book an appointment online to see if the Tulis heel cup is a good option for you!

The Thuasne Rebel Reliever knee brace!

The rebel reliever knee brace is a great option for moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis with instability. The thigh portion of the brace is adjustable to allow for up to 9 degrees of joint unloading to help take pressure off where you need it most. The frame can be both custom and off the shelf with numerous color options to choose from. The townsend hinge contours to the knees anatomic motion by incorporating femoral roll back to reduce wear on the knee and prevent the brace from migrating down the leg.

I need gears to walk???

During a gait analysis one thing we want to look for is if you are in a "high gear" or "low gear" during the propulsion/ toe off stage. This doesn't mean there are physical gears in your foot, but whether or not your foot is flexible or rigid to help with moving you forward.

High gear is the optimal position with your big toe being the last part of the foot to lift off the ground. This can help lock the foot and ankle to help with efficiency, power output, and reduce strain on the surrounding muscles and tendons.

Low gear toe off is less optimal but sometimes necessary if there are issues at the ankle, knees and hips. This keeps the foot flexible which puts more stress on the outside foot and ankle leading to potential instability and inefficiency.

Let us know what gear you use when walking?

Compression garments!!

Did you know that Hitech bracing also does medical knit compression arm sleeves and gloves?
Although less common, those with lymphedema and other conditions involving swelling in the fingers, hand or arm may benefit from compression. These come in both custom and off the shelf sizing with varying strengths of compression to suit almost everyone.

Call or book online to set up an appointment with one of our clinicians to see if compression garments are a good choice for you.

We love hearing how your experience was at our clinic. When our clients remember us, especially from over 10 years ago, we know we made an impact in that clients life. We got a great review from Al:

"After 12 years it was time to trade in the old brace. Robin was very helpful in providing new and exciting products and making the new brace a perfect fit. Thank you HiTech!"

Thanks Al for thinking of us 12 years later and that your still happy, if not happier in your new knee brace. We also want to thank everyone else who has left a review and we hope every ones experience in clinic is as memorable as Al's!

My feet are how many barleycorns???

Did you know back in 1300 England, the standard for measuring foot length was to use barleycorns! They realized 3 barleycorns make an inch, and 36 barleycorns make a foot (12 inches), and almost everyone had access to barley so that was the accepted unit of measurement.

If you measure the length of your foot in inches and multiply by 3, let us know in the comments your foot measurement in barleycorns.

Have a great Friday!

Fun Fact Friday - Toe Types!

There are 3 main categories of toe positions.
1. Greek foot - This is when the hallux, or big toe, is shorter than the 2nd toe. This can be due to either the toe itself being shorter, or more commonly the 1st metatarsal being shorter than the 2nd metatarsal.
2. Egyptian Foot - This is the most common foot type where the toes fall in descending order from the hallux to the little toe.
3. Roman Foot - This is the least common foot type, also known as the square foot. This is when toes 1-3 or 1-4 are all the same length, creating a "square" shape

Let us know in the comments what foot type you have, and if you want extra points what foot type your parents have (are they the same as yours)?

My heel is spongy???

The calcaneus, also know as our heel bone, is a combination of hard bone that surrounds the heel like a shell, and cancellous bone (or spongy bone) that fills in the center. This combination allows the heel to absorb shock as we walk, jump and stand, acting like its own small cushion.

Foot Orthotics can benefit more than just the feet??

Yes! Our bodies, and more specifically our joints, all work together to give us our overall body alignment. If our base is off, like if we pronate (flat foot) or supinate (high arch) it changes our alignment all the way up the kinetic chain. This kinetic chain starts at our feet, and has a chain reaction up to our ankles, knees, hips, back and shoulders. If your feet can tolerate it, putting you in a more neutral position with an orthotic can be beneficial for the entire body!

The D-Elite version stands for dynamic hinge, which helps reduced tibia (lower leg) translation and movement while still allowing close to full range of motion.
