Where an old pair really was correct, the problem usually sits above the foot, which is why a review here always looks further up the chain as well. These are the other services at our Highway 7 clinic and when each becomes relevant.

Years of Combined Experience
Who We Are
There are a handful of usual explanations. The prescription treated the wrong problem, because the assessment never watched the gait. The device would not fit the shoes being worn, so it sat in a drawer. It was worn out, since the correction fades long before the surface looks worn. Or it was never a custom device in the first place at all. Bringing the old pair in makes the review straightforward, and our clinic sits a short drive west along Highway 7 from the former airport lands.
- Multidisciplinary Team
Chiropractors, physiotherapists, and registered massage therapists collaborating under one roof, so your care is coordinated, not fragmented.
- Movement Based Approach
We assess how your body actually moves, then build a treatment plan that restores function from the foundation up. Kinetic. Core. Foundation.
“A poor result means a poor prescription, not a poor idea.”
People generalise from one bad experience and write off the whole category, which is understandable and usually wrong. A device built from an accurate assessment and fitted to shoes you will truly wear behaves very differently from one that failed on any of those counts. The review is where the difference shows up.
What We Offer
Treatments We Combine With a New Prescription
Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care matters when a hip or low back restriction is the real limiter, because no device at the foot will ever overcome a joint above it that has stopped moving properly.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy supplies the strengthening that an orthotic alone cannot, and a missing muscular component is a very frequent reason why a technically correct pair still disappointed.
Registered Massage Therapy
Massage therapy helps with the protective tension built up over months of altered walking, and the registered massage therapists here will often work alongside a new orthotic prescription.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is worth considering where foot pain has outlasted every mechanical explanation, giving you another route to try when support and strengthening have both already been attempted.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy can settle a plantar fascia that has stayed irritated for months, which is sometimes the missing piece when a correct orthotic still failed to relieve the pain.
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are the subject of this page, and a new prescription here begins with a review of the old pair rather than with a fresh cast taken on assumption alone, which explains nothing.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Exercise rehabilitation with a registered kinesiologist rebuilds the foot and calf capacity lost during months of guarded walking, which devices on their own will simply never restore for you.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy is delivered privately by a physiotherapist with pelvic health training, and it is worth reassessing where earlier symptoms were never properly resolved at the time.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic provides gentle, low force care for musculoskeletal comfort in pregnancy and childhood, assessed fresh rather than assumed from whatever was decided before.
How It Works
Your Path from Pain to Lasting Movement
Every patient at KC Rehab follows the same proven four step process, designed to uncover the root cause of your pain or restriction and build a recovery plan that actually lasts.
Consultation and Assessment
Your first visit begins with a detailed conversation about your history, lifestyle, and goals. We then perform a hands on movement assessment to identify the underlying mechanics behind your symptoms.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment findings, we build a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, goals, and timeline. This may combine chiropractic, physiotherapy, RMT, acupuncture, and exercise rehabilitation.
Active Treatment & Therapy
Your plan comes to life through manual therapy, targeted exercise, and the modalities best suited to your condition. Every session is monitored and adjusted based on your progress.
Ongoing Care & Prevention
Once you have recovered, we equip you with the exercises, ergonomic advice, and maintenance schedule you need to stay pain-free and continue moving well for years to come.
Why CHoose Us
What Buttonville Patients Get From a Review
Bring the pair that failed and we will tell you why. If a new set of custom orthotics is the answer, you will get the reasoning behind every part of the prescription. If the problem sits above the foot, we will treat it there instead and say so plainly.
Old Pair Reviewed First
The previous device is examined before anything new is discussed, since the wear pattern across it often explains the failure faster than any other test would.
Prescription Explained in Full
You are told what the new device is designed to do and why, so it is not a second unexplained object arriving with the same lack of reasoning as the first.
Right on the Highway 7 Route
The clinic sits a short drive east of the former airport lands along Highway 7, with free parking outside and no awkward detours needed to reach us.
Everything Assessed on Site
Assessment and casting both happen here, so the person who identified the fault in the old pair is the one writing the prescription for the new one.
RESTORE. REBUILD. RECOVER.
Whether it has been a week or a decade, you do not have to keep adjusting your life around pain. Book your initial assessment at KC Rehab today and find out what real, movement based recovery actually feels like.
Our Customer Testimonials
Frequent Asked Questions
Can I ask about a pair that never felt right?
Yes, and that is a reasonable thing to ask before committing to a second attempt at anything. You can contact us with how old the pair is, where they were made and what you hoped they would fix, and we will tell you whether a review looks worth your time. There is no charge for asking.
How long is the drive down from Mount Joy?
Markham Road runs south from Mount Joy and connects to Highway 7 in around fifteen minutes. Free parking sits directly outside our clinic entrance. Patients from Mount Joy attend here regularly, and the review process does not differ at all. Free parking sits outside our own door.
What sort of clinic looks at a previous orthotic?
KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre assesses and casts on site, so an existing device can be examined properly rather than simply replaced. Chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage and rehabilitation all run here, which matters a great deal when the fault turns out to sit above the foot itself.
Why would a custom orthotic not have worked the first time?
Usually the prescription addressed the wrong problem, the device did not fit the shoes, or it had simply worn out. Occasionally the issue was never mechanical at all. Each of those leads somewhere different, which is why the review always starts with the old pair itself rather than a new cast.
Do Victoria Square patients have theirs reviewed here?
Yes, Victoria Square is a straightforward run south on Woodbine Avenue and we review devices from there often. The approach does not change by area at all. Our Victoria Square page sets out this service with the local detail for that particular area, and free parking sits outside.
Is the difference between store insoles and cast orthotics real?
Could a spinal issue be why my orthotics did not help?
It can be, particularly where a hip or low back restriction is limiting how the leg moves regardless of the foot. Chiropractic care addresses that restriction, and where it turns out to be the real limiter, correcting the foot alone was never going to be sufficient on its own here.
Is South Unionville closer to you than Buttonville?
Slightly, since South Unionville sits just south of the clinic while Buttonville is west along Highway 7. Both drives are short and neither of them affects availability here. Our South Unionville page covers this orthotic service for residents living near the Square itself, with free parking.
