Custom Orthotics
Custom moulded and designed for you, our orthotics are superior insole replacers that alter the mechanics and plantar loads of the foot.
Orthotics help by supporting and improving foot and leg function. Each pair - designed by our Podiatrists - are made to fit the individual patient’s needs. They are used to treat a wide variety of conditions, such as but not limited to; heel pain, ankle pain, and knee pain.
What are custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics are specially designed inserts for footwear that are made to fit the unique shape and structure of an individual's feet. These inserts are typically made from materials such as foam, plastic, or carbon fiber and are designed to provide support and cushioning to the feet, improving comfort and reducing pain and fatigue.
Custom orthotics are different from over-the-counter shoe inserts, which are typically mass-produced and designed to fit a range of foot shapes and sizes. Custom orthotics are made using a mold or scan of an individual's feet, allowing for a precise fit that takes into account the specific contours and pressure points of each foot.
Who needs custom orthotics?
Custom orthotics can be used to treat a variety of foot and lower limb conditions, including:
Plantar fasciitis and other forms of heel pain
Flat feet or high arches
Bunions and other deformities
Arthritis and joint pain
Overuse injuries such as shin splints
Your Podiatrist will make a cast of your feet, which is used to manufacture a truly custom-fitted pair of orthotics made of specialised, high-quality materials.
