Orthoses are shoe inserts designed to support, align or improve the function of foot. They are custom-made to suit your individual needs and the way your body moves. People of all ages wear orthoses and they can benefit anyone suffering from chronic foot or lower limb condition. Orthoses provide valuable long-term solution in the treatment and prevention of corns, calluses and ulceration by redistributing the press of body’s weight on the feet. Orthoses also help with rehabilitation of acute or chronic foot conditions such as tendonitis, recurrent ankle sprain and stress fractures, by providing consistent posture control.

A pair of orthotics will last for 2-3 years, outlasting many of your shoes, while the design also allows you to use the orthotic in different shoes. When prescribing orthoses, the podiatrist provides a comprehensive service to ensure safe and effective foot cares, including:
- A full clinic assessment of your foot problem prior to prescription. The podiatrist will measure you while you walk to determine the extent of foot injuries or footwear-related problems.
- Prescription of orthoses tailored to individual needs. Different sports such as golf, running, and skiing all have different shoe and orthotic needs and designs.
- Provision of any addition treatment required.
- Advice regarding exercises, footwear and training methods
- Complete control over prescribing, making and fitting your orthoses.
- Comprehensive follow-up, including initial and ongoing treatment plan.
