Orthotics are customised supports that you wear in your shoes that are made specifically and only for your feet. They provide support to help correct any abnormalities in foot alignment, and they can also change the positioning of the foot to offload any structures that may be injured as a result of overuse. There are a range of conditions that can be treated using orthotics and if your Podiatrist determines that you require a pair, a series of tests and and assessments are performed. This includes examining how your lower limbs are working, identifying areas of overuse and taking a 3D scan of your feet so the orthotics will fit perfectly to the contour of your foot when they are made.
