Custom orthotics are specialised medical devices designed to improve the function and alignment of your feet and lower limbs. At PodHaus Podiatry, we prescribe custom orthotics based on a detailed biomechanical assessment, gait analysis, and foot examination to ensure they are tailored to your individual needs.
Orthotics may be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including foot and heel pain such as plantar fasciopathy and Achilles tendinopathy. They are also helpful for biomechanical issues like excessive overpronation or poor alignment, as well as paediatric gait concerns such as in-toeing or flat feet.
For individuals with high or low arches, orthotics can provide additional support or cushioning. They are also commonly used in the treatment and prevention of sports injuries and play a crucial role in offloading high-risk areas in patients with diabetes or peripheral arterial disease.
We work closely with each patient to ensure your orthotics are compatible with your lifestyle, footwear, and long-term goals.
