Orthotic Therapy – Frequently Asked Questions
What are foot orthotics?
Foot orthotics are devices placed inside your shoes to help support, align, and improve the function of your feet. They are commonly prescribed by podiatrists to reduce pain, improve movement, and correct abnormal foot mechanics.
What conditions can orthotics help with?
Orthotics may help with plantar fasciitis, heel pain, flat feet, high arches, Achilles tendinopathy, shin splints, forefoot pain, and other issues related to poor foot function or alignment.
How are custom orthotics made?
Custom orthotics are made after a detailed biomechanical assessment, which may include gait analysis, strength testing, footwear review, and a scan or cast of your foot. The orthotics are then designed to suit your individual foot structure and needs.
Are orthotics the same as insoles from a pharmacy or shoe shop?
No. Custom orthotics are prescribed based on your individual foot shape, biomechanics, and condition. Over-the-counter insoles are generic and are not designed to correct specific problems in the same way.
How long do orthotics last?
With proper care, custom orthotics often last between 2 and 5 years, although this can vary depending on wear, activity level, and changes in your feet over time.
How long does each session take?
A orthotics typically takes 15–20 minutes, depending on the area being treated. You can walk out of the clinic and return to normal activities immediately.
Can children wear orthotics?
Yes. Orthotics can be prescribed for children who have flat feet, gait abnormalities, foot pain, or movement issues that may benefit from extra support.
Do I need to wear orthotics all the time?
Your podiatrist will recommend a wearing schedule based on your condition. For best results, orthotics are often worn during most weight-bearing activities, including walking, work, and sport.
Will orthotics fit in all shoes?
Most orthotics fit into everyday shoes, sports shoes, and work footwear. Some designs can also be adjusted for slimmer shoes, depending on your needs and footwear type.
How much do orthotics cost?
The cost of orthotics depends on whether you need custom-made orthotics, prefabricated devices, or modifications to existing insoles. Pricing is explained before treatment begins, and patients can also view the podiatry price list or contact reception for more information.
