Customised Orthotics

Custom-made orthotics offer several advantages over over-the-counter (OTC) options, particularly for individuals with specific or complex foot issues. Here are some of the reasons why custom orthotics are beneficial:

Personalised Fit: custom orthotics are designed based on a detailed assessment of an individual’s foot structure and biomechanics. This personalised approach ensures that the orthotics fit precisely and address the specific needs of the patient.

Targeted Support: custom orthotics provide targeted support where it is most needed, whether it’s for arch support, heel cushioning, or correction of abnormal foot mechanics. This can be especially beneficial for conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or high arches.

Enhanced Comfort: because they are tailored to the individual’s foot shape and specific issues, custom orthotics generally offer greater comfort and better alignment compared to generic OTC options.

Accommodates Special Needs: custom orthotics can be designed to accommodate various foot deformities or medical conditions, such as bunions, hammertoes, or diabetic foot issues. This ensures that the orthotics meet the specific requirements of the patient’s condition.

Durability and Quality: custom orthotics are typically made from high-quality materials and crafted to withstand daily wear and tear. This often makes them more durable and effective in providing long-term support.

Improved Function and Performance: for athletes or individuals with active lifestyles, custom orthotics can enhance performance by providing better support and reducing the risk of injuries related to improper foot mechanics.

Professional Monitoring and Adjustment: custom orthotics are often accompanied by ongoing professional monitoring and adjustments. Podiatrists can make modifications to the orthotics as needed based on changes in the patient’s condition or feedback on comfort and effectiveness.
