Burrard Chiropractic and Foot Orthotics manufactures a wide range of custom foot orthotics led by Dr Zavosh. Every patient requires his/her own unique set of foot orthotics.
The most common type of foot orthotics is sport orthotics. Sport orthotics have dual purpose. It can be used for sports activities or casual usage. They are very durable and last up to 4-5 years depending on usage. The top cover is vinyl which is very suitable for this kind of orthotics. Vinyl repels sweat and moisture and is very easy to clean and lasts longer than other top covers.
