Foot Orthotics

What are Orthotics?

Foot Orthotics are a great treatment tool for many lower limb conditions and presentations. The aim of an orthotic device is to assist the way you move – walk or run – to reduce excess load on the affected part of your body.

Why might I need Foot Orthotics?

Foot Orthoses are only ever used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. The use of orthotic devices can be to reduce or shift load away from painful tissues or high load areas that may breakdown e.g. diabetic foot or rheumatoid foot populations.

Orthotics can be used in the treatment of:

• Heel and arch pain
• Plantar Fasciopathy (Plantar Fasciitis)
• Achilles tendon pain
• Knee pain
• Forefoot pain
• Persistent corns or callus
• Diabetic foot issue
• Discomfort wearing ski boots/cycling shoes

At Errol St Physio we only use the best labs and product. We use one of Australia's premier orthotic laboratories to ensure the highest quality foot orthotics that do the job for longer.
