About Tutt Street Family Chiropractic
Providing a High Level of Care
I’m Dr. Cary Yurkiw, and chiropractic has been my calling for over 31 years. My career journey has taken me across three communities:
- Winnipeg — 15 years serving patients and building strong community roots.
- Penticton — 10 years helping families live healthier, more active lives.
- Kelowna — the last 6 years, where Tutt Street Family Chiropractic has become a trusted place for care.
Over this time, I’ve performed more than 100,000 adjustments and had the privilege of guiding patients of all ages through pain relief, recovery, and long-term health.
Beyond the clinic, I’m an avid marathon runner (20+ marathons), a consultant for health professionals, and an author. My books — including Neck Pain, Back Pain, and the upcoming Fix Your Neck, Jaw & Head Pain—Fast — reflect my passion for educating patients and making chiropractic knowledge practical and accessible.

Why You Need Orthotics
Corrects Foot Alignment
Helps restore natural positioning, reducing strain on muscles and joints.
Reduces Pain Beyond the Feet
Relieves discomfort in the knees, hips, and lower back caused by poor foot mechanics.
Improves Balance & Posture
Supports active lifestyles by reducing stress on joints and lowering the risk of overuse injuries.
Enhances Daily Comfort
Makes long hours on your feet or high-impact activities much easier.
Conditions Orthotics Help With
- Plantar Fasciitis – Relieves heel pain by reducing strain on the plantar fascia.
- Flat Feet (Fallen Arches) – Provides arch support to improve stability and reduce fatigue.
- High Arches – Cushions and balances excess pressure to prevent pain and injuries.
- Bunions & Hammertoes – Reduces stress on the forefoot and helps slow progression
- Heel Spurs – Alleviates pressure on the heel for greater comfort.
- Shin Splints – Corrects foot mechanics that contribute to shin pain.
- Knee, Hip & Back Pain – Supports proper alignment, reducing stress on joints.
- Diabetic Foot Conditions – Helps protect sensitive feet and prevent ulcers.
- Sports & Overuse Injuries – Reduces repetitive strain to keep you active.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long do custom orthotics last?
Most orthotics last about 1 year, and it’s recommended to reassess them annually to ensure they’re still providing the right support.
Do orthotics fit into all shoes?
Orthotics can be designed to fit into most shoes, including athletic, work, and casual footwear. For tighter shoes (like dress shoes), specialty designs are available.
How do I know if I need orthotics?
If you experience ongoing foot, heel, knee, hip, or back pain — or notice uneven wear on your shoes — orthotics may help. A professional assessment will determine if custom support is right for you.
Do children need orthotics too?
Yes, custom orthotics can be beneficial for children experiencing foot pain, flat feet, or alignment concerns. Early support can prevent issues later in life.
How do I know if I need orthotics?
If you experience frequent foot, knee, hip, or lower back pain—or if you notice uneven shoe wear—it may be a sign that orthotics could help. A professional assessment will determine if they’re right for you.
Are orthotics covered by ICBC?
In some cases, ICBC may cover the cost of orthotics if they’re prescribed as part of your accident recovery plan. We can help guide you through the claim process.
