GaitScan in Surrey
The way you walk can offer helpful insight into why certain areas of your body feel under strain. If you’ve been dealing with foot discomfort, knee pain, hip tension, or ongoing lower back discomfort, a GaitScan assessment at Total Care Health may help identify movement patterns that could be contributing to the issue.
A Closer Look at How You Move
GaitScan is an advanced pressure plate system that evaluates how your feet interact with the ground while standing and walking. Using thousands of sensors, it records pressure distribution across the bottom of your feet and creates a visual report your chiropractor can review with you. This information can help assess how foot mechanics may influence posture, balance, and movement.
What a GaitScan Assessment May Help Reveal
In some cases, altered gait patterns may be associated with concerns such as heel discomfort, arch strain, knee pain, hip tension, shin splints, lower back discomfort, or stress on the Achilles tendon. It can also provide useful information for people with flat feet, high arches, or uneven weight distribution.
How the Process Works
During your assessment, you will walk across the pressure plate while the system captures data in real time. Your chiropractor will explain the findings and discuss how your gait pattern may relate to your concerns and overall biomechanics. If orthotics are being considered, the scan results can be used alongside a clinical evaluation to support a personalized recommendation.
One of the key benefits of GaitScan is the ability to clearly visualize how your walking pattern may be influencing your posture and overall movement. Many people find it helpful to see these patterns mapped out, sometimes revealing connections they may not have considered. This information can also support conversations around orthotics, which are designed not only for foot comfort but to help support alignment and movement throughout the body.
