Foot orthotics are inserts which are worn inside your shoes. The main purpose of orthotics is to adjust the position of your feet to improve foot function.
There are many different types of foot orthotics available, including custom orthotics, cast and foot adjusted orthotics, heat mouldable orthotics and off-the-shelf orthotics. At Entire Podiatry we believe strongly in providing our patients with the information they need to make an informed choice when it comes to orthotics.
Custom orthotics are made specifically to suit your feet, following a comprehensive biomechanical assessment and casting of the feet. Because custom foot orthotics are made especially to suit the individual, research and clinical experience shows that custom orthotics are the most effective at “hugging” the arches of the feet and therefore providing the best support and symptom relief.
Not wearing the right footwear (shoes and socks) is often a cause of problems in the foot and ankle, and can also contribute to knee, hip and back pain. So it’s important that you get the right advice on footwear that will best suit your needs.
At Entire Podiatry, your podiatrist can evaluate your foot type and gait in order to recommend the best type of shoe, which will not only reduce your symptoms but which also fits into your lifestyle. Even if you don’t have any current symptoms, if you’re considering starting up a new sport or exercise, it’s a good idea to see your podiatrist for advice on the best type of footwear to avoid developing problems in the feet, legs, hips or back.
In addition to providing advice on footwear, Entire Podiatry stock a range of footwear, including:
