Custom Orthotics, voted best in Markham.
Our Platinum win in the Markham Community Votes 2026 Healthcare category reflects how much of our work is orthotics: a full assessment, a prescription built for your feet and lifestyle, and follow-up fitting.
Mount Joy Foot Clinic & Orthotic Centre warmly thanks all the voters in Markham for this distinguished Platinum Award. We are truly honored by your support.
Personalized Orthotics for Your Foot Shape, Gait, and Lifestyle
Our Markham chiropodists provide experienced evaluation of your foot mechanics and provide custom orthotics tailored to your needs. Designed to support you at work, during exercise, and throughout your day.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics offered in Markham are prescription medical devices designed specifically for your unique needs. At our Markham foot clinic, we use three-dimensional digital scans, or plaster casts of your feet to create foot orthotics that support your feet, correct gait patterns, and address your medical diagnosis. Unlike generic insoles found in stores, our custom insoles are tailored for you to cushion and resolve biomechanical issues, helping you walk, run, and move more comfortably.
What Do Custom Orthotics Help?
Our experienced chiropodists serving Markham, Stouffville and the surrounding area prescribe and dispense custom orthotics for a range of conditions, including:
-
Flat feet and fallen arches
-
Plantar fasciitis & heel pain
-
Bunions, hammer toes, and Morton’s neuroma
-
Diabetic foot problems and neuropathy
-
Arthritis-related foot deformities
-
Biomechanical maladjustment and sports injuries
-
Abnormal gait causing foot, ankle, knee, hip, or lower back pain
If you live in Markham, Unionville, or Stouffville and have diabetes, reduced sensation, poor circulation, or a severe foot deformity, it’s especially important to get a professional assessment. Over-the-counter insoles are often not enough—custom orthotics may be the best solution for your long-term foot health.

Plaster of Paris Casting
The Gold Standard in Precision Foot Orthotic Casting
Plaster of Paris casting is the gold standard for capturing a true 3D, non-weight-bearing mold of your foot. Keep your foot in its natural neutral position while the quick-setting plaster hardens. This traditional process records each and every contour and arch profile meticulously. The result is a very accurate picture of the structural alignment of your foot, which is the basis for custom orthotics that provide the best support and corrective balance.
VeriScan Podiatric 3D Laser Scanner
Precision Laser Scanning that Replicates Plaster of Paris Casting
The Veriscan Podiatric Scanner (VPS) employs red line-laser 3D-imaging to quickly and accurately capture a true-dimension digital cast of the human foot. The VeriScan can complete and process a scan in seven seconds and send it to the lab in another five seconds in tandem with Envisic’s software.
Cost and Insurance Coverage
Mount Joy Foot Clinic sells custom orthotics for $575 a pair. This includes a casting (3D laser scan or plaster of Paris), a pair of custom orthotics, and your dispensing visit. Many extended health plans will cover some or all of the cost, often when a claim includes a prescription, a documented biomechanical assessment, and proof of casting.
Custom orthotics are not covered by OHIP. We recommend you check your plan’s requirements ahead of your appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions
If your pain is mild and general, over-the-counter insoles may help. If you have a structural foot problem, diabetes, poor circulation, or pain that hasn’t improved with proper footwear and store-bought insoles, we recommend a chiropodist assessment for custom orthotics.

Most extended health plans cover them when a regulated professional such as a chiropodist prescribes them. OHIP does not cover them. We provide the documentation your insurer needs.
Orthotics are usually ready for fitting within 10–14 business days after your assessment and casting. Rush orders are available for an extra fee.
Orthotics work best in shoes with a removable insole and a firm heel counter. Your chiropodist will recommend suitable footwear.

In Ontario, chiropodists and podiatrists are both regulated foot care professionals. Markham podiatrist and chiropodists are both registered with the College of Chiropodists of Ontario and provide a similar scope of foot and ankle care, including assessment, custom orthotics, minor surgery, prescriptions and more. Chiropodists are locally trained and represent the majority of foot care specialists in Ontario.
