Areas We Serve
What are Orthotics?
Orthotics are tailor-made medical devices that are created to enhance and correct the mechanics of tissues and joints in the feet. These devices are uniquely shaped and sized to fit the foot of each individual and are inserted into the shoe like an insole. Orthotics are capable of remedying imbalances, strains, stresses, and pains in the feet, and they can also alleviate discomfort and pain in other parts of the body, such as the knees, hips, and back.
A range of conditions, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, and bunions, can be effectively treated using orthotics. These conditions can result in discomfort and pain in the feet, as well as the legs, hips, and back. Orthotics work by correcting the mechanics of the feet, providing relief from pain, and enhancing mobility.
Orthotics are prescribed by qualified healthcare professionals, such as podiatrists or physiotherapists, after a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s feet and related symptoms. The healthcare professional will consider the individual’s medical history, lifestyle, and objectives when deciding on the best course of treatment. Orthotics can be crafted from a range of materials, including foam, rubber, and plastic, and can be custom-made to fit the patient’s foot and specific condition.
What can Orthotics help with?
Our Process
- Examination and Gait Assessment
To determine the current action and movement of your feet and lower limbs, your physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive analysis of your feet, ankles, and gait. Additionally, we will gather information about your history, symptoms, circumstances, and any previous treatments you have undergone to determine the most appropriate approach for your unique needs.
- Computerised Gait Analysis
To conduct a highly precise scan of your movement, we use the most advanced technology available. The Computerised Gait Scan gathers information on the timing, pressure, and other unique characteristics of your gait, providing a detailed analysis that cannot be obtained through observation alone. Based on this information, we can determine whether orthotics can be helpful in your treatment plan.
- Casting your Custom Orthotics
If we think orthotics would be helpful to you, we use the data from your gait analysis to generate a dynamic cast of each foot – no need for plaster or foam casting. The dynamic cast is then sent to a team of technicians who custom-create a pair of orthotics that are unique to your feet. We offer a variety of orthotic styles, including standard sizes, thicker orthotics for support during sports, and lighter options that can fit into dress shoes.
- Using your Orthotics
After receiving your new orthotics, our trained physios will instruct you on their optimal usage, including an injury rehabilitation plan to aid in your recovery. Treatments may also consist of hands-on physiotherapy and at-home exercises to complement your orthotics.
