The process of creating custom orthotics begins with a thorough podiatric assessment, including a detailed evaluation of the foot's shape, pressure points, and alignment. Our podiatrists utilise the latest 3D imaging, casting, or foam impressions to capture the foot’s precise contours. Based on these measurements, the orthotics are crafted from materials that offer the right balance of cushioning, support, and durability, which can help alleviate pain and prevent further injury.
Custom orthotics are commonly used to treat conditions like plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, bunions and shin splints. They work by redistributing pressure, improving foot posture, and enhancing shock absorption.
For individuals with abnormal foot mechanics, orthotics can correct alignment and reduce stress on other joints, such as the knees, hips, and lower back.
In addition to pain relief, custom orthotics improve overall mobility and quality of life. Regular follow-ups with our podiatry team will ensure that the orthotics remain effective and provide continued support, enhancing long-term foot health.
