Services
Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are precisely crafted from 3D foot casts to correct alignment and alleviate pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis. Using advanced gait analysis, we design inserts that fit seamlessly into various footwear, redistributing pressure and improving biomechanical function for long-term relief.
Sports Orthotics
Sports orthotics enhance athletic performance by optimizing foot mechanics and reducing injury risks. Tailored for high-impact activities, these inserts provide shock absorption, stability, and pressure distribution in running shoes, cleats, or skates, ensuring peak performance and recovery for active individuals.
Children's Orthotics
Children's orthotics address developmental foot issues using durable, specialized materials. Designed for growing feet, these inserts correct gait abnormalities and support proper alignment in school shoes or play footwear, promoting healthy mobility and comfort during critical growth stages.
Skate Orthotics
Skate orthotics maximize skating efficiency by ensuring optimal foot positioning in narrow boots. These ultra-thin inserts enhance balance and power transfer while reducing fatigue, addressing biomechanical imbalances that affect performance in hockey, figure skating, or recreational ice activities.
Shoe Modifications
Shoe modifications complement orthotics by altering footwear structure for better fit and function. We reinforce soles, adjust heel heights, or expand toe boxes to accommodate orthotics, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced therapeutic effectiveness for patients with specific mobility needs.

I had an 18 degree pronation in my ankle two years ago (severe is considered something like 12 degrees). Nick and Nick Jr. fashioned special orthotics for me, and repeatedly made adjustments to the orthotics as my pronation decreased due to their interventions and getting some physiotherapy. Nick and Nick (Jr.), as well as their assistant, Anne-Marie, were always accommodating and concerned for my welfare. Because of them I now spend most of my day in comfort rather than constant and debilitating pain. Because of them I no longer dread the idea of just standing up. Because of them I was able to

Highly recommend! I was very well taken care over and well informed of what was going on with my poor sore feet. I have had experience with other orthotics places in town and left with a clunky run of the mill set that I never wore because it didn't suit my lifestyle whatsoever. The process of foot casting with Nick was so impressive, it's much more custom, and makes sure the proper arch is supported. Thank you for your excellent service!

I am very pleased with the service provided by Nick Jr. I had trouble finding a solution for my runners knee and shortly after using these handcrafted orthotics, my knee pain had gone away. I was back to being able to jog and play sports again. The knowledge and experience from the clinic is second to none and I recommend the Caravaggio Orthotic Clinic to all my friends and family. Thanks Nick!

I was highly recommended to this clinic with their work for people with short leg after hip surgery. And I was so pleasantly surprised with the results. They took their time to measure my discrepancy that nobody else could and now I feel like I'm walking clouds. It did take a week or so to get used to the orthotics but I couldn't be happier with the results. Many thanks to everyone at the clinic, Anne-Marie and Nick Jr. Can't wait for my next pair!

I was very impressed with Nick Caravaggio Jr. During this pandemic Nick went above and beyond to look after my needs. As a front line health care worker I was unable to come to the clinic so and was in need of assistance for my feet. He drove 90 minutes to my house to pick up my older orthotics, and not only was he able to make a new pair off my old ones- he fixed the old ones free of charge and then dropped them off at my house the next day! I am so incredibly grateful for his work ethic and dedication to his patients.
Merci !!!!
