Orthotics
An orthotic should be made with an individual design in mind. By casting from an exact (mould) prescription this will ensure a perfect fit and ……… comfort.
The Orthotics may be flexible, non-flexible, light or heavy in composition.
These neutral position Orthotics are suitable for children, teenagers, athletes and the elderly.
Benefits of using an Orthotic are to eliminate pain, allow normal function of lower limb and foot and also prevent degeneration of foot and lower limb.
Cast neutral position Orthotics will stabilize and realign the feet into their optimal position.
Orthoses
The orthoses prescribed by your podiatrist are custom-made to suit your individual needs and biomechanics (the way your body moves). When prescribing orthoses, your podiatrist provides a comprehensive service to ensure safe and effective foot care, which includes:

Orthoses are shoe inserts designed to support, align or improve the function of the foot. Orthoses fit comfortably in your shoes and they may be recommended for the treatment of foot or lower limb conditions, which limit mobility or independence.
Podiatrists are the primary health care practitioners for disorders of the foot and lower leg, dealing not only with diagnosis and treatment, but also prevention and rehabilitation. For more information about orthoses or foot care contact us now.
