Orthotics and insoles are devices worn inside your shoes to help reduce pain, improve comfort, and support how your feet function during daily activities, work, and sport. They are typically recommended following a Biomechanical Foot and Ankle Assessment, where your podiatrist determines if orthotic therapy is the most appropriate treatment for you.
There are two main types of insoles that may be recommended:
Your podiatrist will recommend the most suitable option based on your condition, lifestyle, and treatment goals.
If Custom Orthotics are recommended:
If Prefabricated Insoles are recommended:
Orthotics are only provided where clinically appropriate following your biomechanical assessment. If recommended, the process is straightforward and focused on ensuring the best fit and function for your feet.
For custom orthotics, you will complete a 3D scan of your feet, followed by a fitting appointment once they are ready. For prefabricated insoles, they are usually fitted on the same day.
Your podiatrist will ensure your insoles fit comfortably in your footwear and work effectively for your daily activities.
Benefits:
Orthotics and insoles are a simple yet effective way to support your feet and improve comfort, helping you stay active with less pain.
