Orthotics
Orthotics are small inserts in your shoe that help realign your foot
Orthotics Treatments
Shoe orthotics are devices, inserts and other structures external to the body that help to straighten and correct biomechanical foot issues that cause difficulty in how you stand, walk or run.
During an appointment, our clinician will conduct a full examination of your feet, ankles and lower legs. They may also observe you standing and walking. An effective shoe insert will then be recommended.
Shoe orthotics can help relieve the pain caused by a number of medical conditions, including arthritis and diabetes.

Foot Pronation
If your shoes wear out on the inside of the heel, this may be an indication of foot pronation. Wearing foot inserts (othotics) can help to realign the body and will reduce any symptoms.
Foot pronation produces the following musculoskeletal problems:
- Shin splints
- Plantar Plantar fasciitis
- Hip pain
- Anterior compartment syndrome (pain in the front of your leg from below your knee to your ankle)
- Achilles tendonitis
- Bunions
- Lower back pain when walking
- Patellofemoral pain (pain to the inner side of the knee)
-
Foot Supination
Foot supination is where the foot rolls towards the outside of the heel. You will notice your shoes wearing out on the outside of their soles. As with foot pronation, these issues can be rectified by wearing fitted orthotics.
If you have foot supination, you may experience the following symtpomns:
- Excessive knee pain
- Plantar fasciitis
- ITB pain (iliotibial band which runs down the outside of your thigh to your knee)
- Back pain
- Swelling on the ball of the foot or arches
- Callus or bunion development on the outside of the foot
