Our podiatrists are highly trained and experienced in both prescribing and making orthotics. They will diagnose your problem and discuss with you your treatment options. If orthotics are required we have a range of pre-made orthotics, semi-custom orthotics and if required fully individualised custom orthotics.
Adjustments to your old or new orthotics are done on-site in our Mudgeeraba clinic by our skilled podiatrists.
When assessing your need for orthotics our podiatrists will evaluate symptoms that indicate inefficient function of the feet and legs.
Orthotics assessment involves:
Ask yourself these questions?
▪Do you regularly stand/walk on hard surfaces for several hours?
▪Do you regularly participate in any sport?
▪Do you suffer from back pain, knee or shin pain, foot or ankle pain
▪Do your feet or legs ache when you walk or when you have only been on your feet for a short time?
▪Does your footwear wear unevenly?
▪Do you have joint pain while standing, walking, or running?
▪Do you have one leg shorter than the other?
▪Do you have knock knees or bow legs?
▪Do you have obvious foot problems (bunions, corns, flat feet etc.)
▪Do your feet “toe out” or “toe in” when you are walking?
A follow up appointment 2 – 4 weeks after fitting is included in the cost of custom made orthotics. Our podiatrists will carry out an additional assessment to ensure the orthotics are comfortable and are achieving the desired effect.
