An orthotic is a device that is inserted into shoes to support, align, or improve the function of the foot. They are designed to address various foot-related issues. Orthotics can help redistribute pressure on the feet, provide cushioning, and enhance stability, which can alleviate pain and discomfort not only in the feet but also in the knees, hips, and lower back. Our Podiatrists may use them as part of a comprehensive treatment plan to address specific biomechanical problems or to enhance overall comfort and performance in daily activities.

In some case’s the Podiatrist may address your related concerns using Custom Made 3D printed orthoses. This may be in post-surgical cases or where significant foot anatomical changes or deficits need greater attention. We always aim to provide comfort and support for anything from dress footwear and sports boots to running shoes or steel caps.
