Orthotic shoe inserts

Orthotics are worn by people of all ages, from young children to the older adult. They are typically prescribed and modified to suit your feet as part of a treatment plan to help restore your ability to walk, or run by reducing pain, while also increasing the stability of unstable joints and providing a better arch support.

They can also ease problems in other areas of the body such as  the knees, hips, and lower back by holding the foot in the correct position and improving the alignment and support to the whole body. 

Orthotics are generally categorized into 3 groups: 

• Functional. Designed to support unusual foot structures (Flat Feet)

• Accommodative. To provide shock absorption to relieve impact pain.

• Combination of both above.

To get orthotics you generally need a initial consultation for fitting, a follow up for modifications or adjustments and then a telehealth follow up 6 months later to make sure they are working as they should.

Please note when you come for an Orthotic appointment, bring closed toe shoes so that they can be fitted in the shoes correctly.

Orthotics are to be worn increasingly for week, then a follow up visit will be needed to check the fit and add modifications if needed.
