Custom Orthotics
Custom orthotics are specially designed insoles that support the feet, improve alignment, and relieve pain caused by biomechanical issues. They are tailored to your individual needs and can help with a wide range of conditions, from heel pain and flat feet to sports injuries and ongoing discomfort. Orthotics work by improving the way your feet function, helping you stay active, balanced, and pain-free.
What to Expect at Your Orthotics Appointment
Initial assessment
Your podiatrist will discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to understand how your feet are affecting your daily activities.
Biomechanical examination
We carry out a detailed assessment for foot posture and lower limb alignment to identify imbalances or areas of strain.
Footwear evaluation
Your current footwear is reviewed to ensure proper support and to identify any changes that may benefit your foot health.
Orthotic design and prescription
Based on your assessment, your podiatrist will recommend the most suitable type of custom orthotic. We use the latest 3D scanning technology to provide details to our Laboratory where your orthoses will be manufactured.
Fitting and adjustments
Once your orthotics are ready, we ensure they fit comfortably and function correctly. Adjustments can be made to fine-tune support and improve long-term comfort.
Advice and recommendations
You’ll receive personalised guidance on wearing-in your orthotics, selecting supportive footwear, and managing any ongoing issues.
