Common Q&A about Orthotics
Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.
Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.
Orthotics are custom-made or off-the-shelf devices designed to support, align, or improve the function of the feet and lower limbs.
Individuals with foot pain, deformities, or conditions like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, diabetes, or flat feet can benefit from orthotic devices.
Custom orthotics are typically made by taking a mold or digital scan of the patient's feet and assessing their specific needs, followed by crafting the orthotic based on those measurements.
Consulting with a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedist, can help determine if orthotics are suitable for your condition.
Common types of orthotics include rigid, semi-rigid, and soft orthotics, each designed for different conditions and levels of support.
Over-the-counter orthotics can provide some support and relief for mild issues, but custom orthotics are often more effective for specific foot problems.
The lifespan of orthotics varies but generally ranges from 1 to 5 years, depending on usage, materials, and the individual's condition.
Most orthotics can be worn in several types of footwear, but some designs may require specific shoe styles for optimal fit and function.
While orthotics can alleviate symptoms and improve foot function, they may not cure underlying conditions; they are often part of a broader treatment plan.
Orthotics should be kept clean and dry, and regular inspections for wear and tear are essential to maintain their effectiveness.
Symptom checker
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please book an appointment with us. Symptoms can vary from person to person and from condition to condition.A proper diagnosis can only be made through a thorough medical examination.
Our clinicians will carry out a full assessment to ensure an accurate diagnosis and appropriate care.
Are you experiencing foot, ankle or lower limb pain that worsens when standing or walking?
Orthotics can help support your biomechanics by redistributing pressure and reducing strain on painful joints and tissues during routine movement.
Do you have recurrent knee, hip or back discomfort linked to gait or alignment issues?
Custom or therapeutic orthotic inserts aim to correct alignment and improve gait mechanics, easing strain through joints impacted by postural imbalance.
Is arthritis or joint inflammation causing instability or uneven pressure on your feet?
Orthotics can provide structural support to reduce uneven load across joints, helping to ease pain and improve comfort when walking or standing.
Have you noticed progressive wear on shoes or uneven foot posture?
Uneven shoe wear can reflect altered gait or foot mechanics; orthotic assessment can help identify causes and recommend supportive solutions to improve symmetry.
Do you feel fatigue or discomfort during prolonged activity or exercise?
Supportive orthotics can help relieve stress on muscles and joints during activity, giving better endurance and reducing pain over time.
Are you recovering from an injury and need extra stability or cushioning?
Orthotic devices can offer targeted support and reduce impact forces during rehabilitation, improving comfort and facilitating safe return to movement.

Click below to view useful info on a few of the common conditions we treat:
Foot, ankle & lower limb pain
Therapeutic or custom orthotics support foot and ankle structure to ease pain, reduce strain and improve functional alignment.
Joint alignment & gait issues
Orthotics can improve alignment through the lower limb and pelvis, helping correct walking mechanics that contribute to knee, hip or back discomfort.
Arthritis support
By redistributing pressure away from affected joint areas, orthotics can help reduce pain and improve comfort for people with mild to moderate arthritic symptoms.
Biomechanical imbalance
Orthotics address issues such as overpronation, supination or uneven stride patterns that contribute to musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction.
Activity & rehabilitation support
Used alongside physiotherapy or rheumatology care, orthotic supports can ease fatigue, reduce impact forces and promote safer movement during recovery and daily activity.
