Orthoses, braces and orthotics

At our clinic, we understand that foot and ankle discomfort can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. As qualified podiatrists, we are committed to providing personalised care that addresses the unique needs of each patient. One vital aspect of this care involves the use of orthoses, braces, and orthotics.

Orthotics are custom-made or prefabricated devices designed to support, align, offload or enhance the function of the foot and ankle. They can alleviate pain, enhance mobility, and improve overall foot function. The type of orthotic recommended will depend on the specific foot condition, whether it be flat feet, plantar fasciitis, or other musculoskeletal disorders.

Braces serve a similar purpose, providing additional stability to the joint structure and limiting excessive motion that may exacerbate injuries. Utilising a brace can be particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from sprains or undergoing rehabilitation for foot or ankle surgery.

Orthoses, often utilised to relieve stress off particular areas of the foot, can range from simple arch supports to more complex modifications tailored to specific foot shapes and conditions. Through comprehensive evaluations, we will determine the most suitable option for your needs, enhancing your quality of life and allowing you to regain the activities you love. Let us guide you towards a more comfortable and active lifestyle.
