What Are Orthotics?

Orthotics are specialised shoe inserts designed by podiatrists to address various lower limb and foot issues. They are customised to each individual, offering assistance for a range of conditions. Our dedicated team is committed to finding the perfect fit tailored to your unique needs.

‍

Are Orthotics Right for Me?

Consider orthotics if you're experiencing any of the following conditions or concerns:

• Heel pain – plantar fasciitis, plantar fasciopathy
• Bunions – hallux valgus
• Achilles tendinopathy
• Painful flat feet
• Painful high arches
• Toe injuries
• Nerve pain
• Knee pain
• Lower back pain

We take a holistic approach to orthotic prescription by seamlessly integrating them into a comprehensive management plan. Orthotics play a crucial role in providing support for short-term off-loading during injury management or assisting in long-term relief from pain or chronic conditions.
