TYPES OF ORTHOTICS WE CAN PROVIDE:

​

All devices fitted to the foot to assist in function are known as ORTHOTICS. Generally these fall into 3 categories:

​

1. Custom made by an Orthotic Lab:
   These are permanent devices made from
   either plaster casts, impression foam casts
   or computerized scan results (Ortesi/OHI).  
   In some cases, we will fabricate the devices
   ourselves in-house.
    

2. Semi Custom:These devices are customized in-house
   by the Podiatrist, according to your individual needs
   - off the shelf (Formthotics)or similar types of orthotics
   may be used. 
    

3. Non Custom:
   These devices are off the shelf and are often available
   on the same day as your appointment. Sturdy, supportive
   footwear is required to ensure correct fitting - joggers,
   enclosed shoes with ample room & other footwear
   which have removable insoles are ideal.
   - Adults/Older Children - ICB or Formthotics Inserts (heat molded/off the shelf)
   - Younger Children - Gecko Inserts
