Post-fracture recovery involves ankle range, calf strength and walking confidence together. Several regulated professions work in this building, so a single long trip can address more than one of them. Assessment sets the priorities.
Custom Orthotics in Ajax After an Ankle Fracture
Custom foot orthotics are made in Ajax for patients whose walking still feels uneven months after an ankle fracture healed. Both sides are measured and compared. Fracture history is taken properly. Direct billing at the visit.

Who We Are
Harwood Avenue, Rotary Park and the Route West on Highway 401
Ajax patients travel west on Highway 401 from the Harwood Avenue area, then north through Markham to Highway 7 and the clinic at McCowan Road.
Bone union and normal walking are separate milestones, and plenty of people are discharged from a fracture clinic still limping without quite knowing why. Reduced ankle movement, a weaker calf and months of protective habits leave the foot loading differently, and support can even that out while strength work rebuilds what was lost. Both ankles are measured and compared. Calf capacity is counted, not estimated. Walking pattern is watched directly. Appointments are combined for the distance.
- 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.
“The bone healed. The walking pattern did not follow.”
Being discharged means the fracture united, which is a genuine milestone and not the same as walking normally again. The limp that remains six months later usually reflects stiffness and weakness rather than anything wrong with the bone itself. Function is what gets measured here.
What We Offer
Orthotics and Recovery Care for Ajax Patients
Chiropractic Care
Months of limping stiffen the hip and low back on both sides, and chiropractic care can address the restriction left behind. Both sides are assessed. Findings are explained plainly.
Physiotherapy
Ankle range and calf strength decide how walking recovers, and physiotherapy supplies the staged programme and measurements. Heel raises are counted each visit. Milestones are shared with you.
Registered Massage Therapy
Tissue around a previously immobilised ankle stays tight and guarded, and massage therapy can ease that guarding. Pressure stays within tolerance. Timing follows the healing stage.
Acupuncture
Pain lingering beyond the expected timeline sometimes eases when acupuncture joins the movement programme. Points follow the assessment. Reasoning is explained. Consent is taken each visit.
Class IV K-Laser Therapy
Residual ankle pain and swelling can be treated with Class IV laser therapy alongside the loading programme. Sessions run a few minutes. Nothing invasive is involved. Walking afterwards is fine.
Custom Orthotics
Built to even out asymmetric loading, custom devices support a foot that has been favouring one side for months while strength is rebuilt. Both feet are cast together. Casting is done on site.
Exercise Rehabilitation
Rebuilding calf strength after immobilisation is measurable, and exercise rehabilitation with a Registered Kinesiologist tracks it. Both limbs are compared. Load rises on recorded evidence.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Reduced activity during recovery can bring pelvic symptoms, and pelvic floor therapy is delivered by a pelvic-health therapist. A private treatment room is used. Assessment stays discreet.
Pediatric & Pregnancy Chiropractic
Family members sharing the trip can add pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic, gentle low-force care for musculoskeletal comfort. Pregnancy back ache is common. Children are treated gently.
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.
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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
Why Ajax Patients Combine Recovery Appointments
A trip from Ajax is planned as one longer visit, so custom orthotics and the strength work that goes with them happen on the same afternoon. Both sides are measured. Fracture history is taken. Direct billing applies on the day. Parking is free outside.
Both sides measured and compared
Ankle range, calf strength and foot posture are recorded on each leg, since the difference between them is what explains the limp. Numbers are shared with you.
Fracture history taken properly
The injury, the treatment, any hardware and the discharge instructions are all recorded before anything is assessed or cast. Bring your clinic paperwork.
Longer combined appointments
Extended visits can be booked for patients travelling from Durham, so one trip achieves what would otherwise take two or three. Scheduling is arranged for you.
Direct billing at the visit
Extended-health plans are billed directly where the insurer allows, which avoids paperwork following you back east along the highway.
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
Why does walking still feel uneven months later?
Reduced ankle movement and a weaker calf change the timing of each step long after the bone has united.Protective habits persist too. Patients from Pickering describe exactly the same lingering unevenness. Both sides are measured at assessment. The gap closes with loading work.
Can a device even out asymmetric loading?
Support can help distribute load more evenly while strength and range are rebuilt, though it does not substitute for that work.The two go together. KinetiCore Rehabilitation Centre measures both sides carefully before deciding what a device should do. Expectations are set at assessment.
Does the uninjured side need support too?
Devices are made as a pair, since the other leg has been carrying extra load for months and often has its own complaints.Both feet are assessed. Patients from West Hill are frequently surprised that the good side needs attention. Loading is compared between them. Symptoms often appear later.
When after a fracture should casting happen?
Once swelling has settled and the foot has returned to its usual shape, which is typically some months after the cast comes off.Casting too early gives a poor fit. To ask about timing for your case, contact us before booking. Surgical guidance takes precedence. Swelling is checked first.
How does a forty-minute drive fit a fitting schedule?
Casting and fitting are two visits, and the second can usually be combined with other care to justify the trip.Home exercises carry the weeks between. Patients from Rouge plan the same way, with fewer and longer appointments spaced out. Scheduling is arranged in advance. Fittings can be combined.
Is remaining stiffness normal at this stage?
Do old devices still fit after an injury?
Devices made before a fracture often no longer match a foot that has changed shape or loading pattern.Bring them for assessment rather than assuming. Adjustment is sometimes possible, though recasting is frequently the more sensible route. Fit is checked before advice is given.
What is the route west from Harwood Avenue?
Highway 401 runs west from the Harwood Avenue area, then north through Markham to Highway 7 and the clinic near McCowan Road.Free parking sits outside with ground floor access, which helps if walking is still uncomfortable. Drop-off at the entrance is possible. Allow extra time at peak periods.
