Orthotics Melbourne
Our podiatrists at Medical Foot Care can improve foot problems with quality orthotics. Orthotics are shoe inserts that provide support and cushioning for the feet. They can be used to treat a variety of foot conditions, including bunions, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendonitis. Orthotics can also help to prevent injuries and improve overall foot health. If you are experiencing any foot pain or discomfort, our podiatrists can help you find the right orthotic solution for your needs.
There are two options when it comes to foot orthotics, they are prefabricated or customised.
Prefabricated Orthotic
The prefabricated type of orthoses provides a generic support to the feet that can generally be heat adjusted to provide a good degree of support. They normally come in both three quarter and full length options and are available from health care professionals, sports stores and pharmacies. Prefabricated insoles are a much cheaper alternative than custom foot orthoses however in many cases they can very successfully treat anomalies and alleviate patient symptoms. This type of insole can also be purchased in both hard plastic compounds such as polypropylene (PP) and softer rubber composites such as ethylene- vinyl acetate (EVA).
Customised Orthotics
Customised Foot Orthoses are fabricated from an impression of each the left and right foot and are unique to each patient. The foot is generally captured with plaster, foam or digital scan to enable fabrication of an arch support that is specific to the mould being used. This type of insole provides superior support to any other insole as it is very accurate with respect to the prescribed support that has been formulated by the clinicians in an attempt to correct any anomalies. Similar to prefabricated insoles, custom foot insoles can be made from hard compounds such as PP and carbon fibre, and alternatively softer rubber composites such as EVA.
