Orthoses can be used to treat various foot conditions and painful injuries. We use orthotic therapy with other treatment modalities (such as footwear, strapping, stretches and strengthening exercises) to achieve the best outcome for you and your feet.
Shoe orthotics can support your feet and improve foot and leg function. They are also effective in pressure redistribution and can reduce corn, callus and ulcer formation.
We have a variety of pre-fabricated devices and also can provide custom-made orthoses, where an orthotic prescription is written, according to your requirements.
We begin by providing a thorough patient history and biomechanical and gait assessment.
Once your orthoses are fitted, we provide follow-up consults to ensure the devices are comfortable.
Orthotics are medical-grade shoe inserts designed to support your feet, improve alignment, enhance stability, reduce pain, increase comfort and ease of mobility.
Some people think that shoes with arches support will solve their problems, but a better option is to have orthotics fitted to suit your feet and that are removable. You can then place your orthotic shoe inserts into any shoe that is orthotics-friendly.
Properly-fitted orthoses are prescribed by podiatrists to correct biomechanical issues in the feet, ankles, and lower body.
You may have feet that roll in or out to different degrees. Orthotics help correct this, redistribute pressure, reduce strain on certain areas, and improve overall body alignment, making movement more comfortable and efficient.
At Healthy Sole Podiatry, we offer both custom and prefabricated orthotics, carefully fitted to meet the individual needs of each patient.
Whether you have flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, or any other condition affecting your comfort and movement, our orthotics, both custom-designed and pre-made, are designed to relieve pain, correct alignment, and improve your overall posture.
Our podiatrists will assess your feet, walking pattern, and specific requirements and choose the best orthotics to address your unique concerns.
