How Orthotics work
-
As your foot rests on the orthotic, it is gently and consistently directed into the correct position for running and walking. Medical-grade Orthotics are essentially an Orthopaedic brace restoring podiatric (foot) and direct secondary biomechanically related mal-alignments by restructuring the complex 'architecture' of the foots' alignment and structure.
- It modifies the function of your foot as you continue to wear them.
How long will I have to wear them?
- Prescription orthotics work on the same principle as eyeglasses
• Both adjust bodily imperfections that inhibit people from functioning at their maximum physical potential
- In many young patients, the early use of prescription orthotics before the bones are fully developed, may actually permanently correct a foot problem

How are Orthotics made?
You must be fitted for them
• Your foot specialist will: |
|
- Give you a complete foot and biomechanical / orthopaedic examination, takes a history of your foot complaint/s
- Determine your particular foot problem
- Takes a pediograph, a (dynamic weight bearing impression) and a neutral casting

Note: Prescription orthotics must be prescribed and made by a fully qualified medical specialist (orthopaedic specialist/ podiatrist or specially trained physiotherapist) as they must be very accurately made for an individuals’ unique foot structure and problem
