Footwear And Orthotic Assessment |
|
Occasionally after an assessment orthotics may be required. These may need to be manufactured or an off-the-shelf pair may be prescribed.
After a consultation with the patient, the process of casting and manufacturing the orthotics begins. This process takes around 2 weeks in which the patient will return for a fitting.
Any last minute adjustments can be made to the orthotics with the constant reminder by the podiatrist of the importance to gradually introduce your orthotics, commencing with 1-3 hours daily.
Remember by wearing orthotics you are correcting your spine, hips and feet position.
If you have a favourite pair of footwear, please bring them along and discuss with the podiatrist the possibility of accommodating your orthotics with your footwear before manufacturing begins. Below is a visible sample of our custom-made orthotics. For more information please contact us. |
