Orthotic Devices

What are orthotics?

Orthotic devices (more commonly know as orthotics) are custom made devices that are worn inside the shoe to control abnormal foot function, help to alleviate painful areas of the feet and can help prevent many of the common foot complications that cause discomfort. People of all ages and all walks of life who suffer with a variety of foot and lower leg problems wear orthotics. If you are suffering from a foot or lower limb condition' which is limiting your mobility and independence, you may require orthotics.

How are orthotics made? 

To start, your feet need to be examined by the Chiropodist. The Chiropodist will watch you walk and determine the right device for you. Next, impressions are taken of your feet using our three dimensional laser scanner. The method used in taking impressions is very important to the over all success of the orthotics. Our scanner allows us as many scans as necessary to ensure we capture every area of your foot to perfectly create your custom orthotic devices.The scans are quick, accurate and taken while you are sitting comfortably in our treatment chairs. Once your devices are ready our trained professionals will help make sure your orthotics are fitted properly into your footwear and that you are adjusting to your new devices.
