Custom Made Orthotics
Custom made orthotics are medically designed foot inserts prescribed by our podiatrists to improve your foot function and lower leg biomechanics. They are designed to support the natural shape of your foot, align the ankle and improve posture and overall function.
As every patient is different, each pair of custom orthotics will be specifically designed for your feet to help improve your foot health and ensure you receive the best possible outcome.
Orthotics can be used for a large variety of conditions and also as a preventative tool to avoid ankle and foot problems in the future.
Below are a few of the common conditions orthotics may be used to treat:
​
-
Limb length discrepancies

Arthritic foot and ankle conditions

Cavus foot – high arch
