Customised support for your feet
Orthotic therapy involves the use of custom-made inserts designed to improve the function of the feet and lower limbs. Unlike generic over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are specifically molded to a unique foot structure to provide optimal alignment and support. A comprehensive biomechanical examination determines how orthotics can improve mobility and reduce strain on the back, hips, knees, and ankles.
Applications and benefits
Custom orthotics are a highly effective, non-invasive solution for a variety of foot and lower-limb issues. By providing necessary stability and correcting gait imbalances, our podiatrists use orthotic therapy to aid in the recovery process and prevent future injuries. This treatment is commonly used to manage:
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain by providing essential arch support
- Achilles tendonitis and shin splints to reduce stress on overworked muscles
- Bunions and joint pain by improving foot alignment and redistributing weight
- Flat feet or high arches to provide stability and shock absorption
- Ankle and knee injuries to aid in recovery and improve overall balance
