At Imokilly Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinic, part of your assessment for back or lower limb pain is to observe the feet in standing and walking – think of them as “the foundations of the house”. If we identify that abnormal biomechanics may be contributing to your pain, a temporary insole or custom-made orthotic may be suggested.
Orthotics are particularly effective for;
- Metatarsalgia (Pain in the ball of the foot)
- Tired/ Aching feet and legs
- Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
- Anterior knee pain
- Achilles Tendonitis
- Tibial Stress Syndrome (Shin Splints)
- Pes Planus (Flat feet)
- Lumbar-Sacral Pain
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Osteoarthritis of the ankle, knee and hip
Children and young adults will often require a temporary orthotic to ease pain and correct abnormal alignment if in the growing phase there has been a growth spurt and muscle flexibility has become an issue. Personalised stretching programmes and the orthotic will balance and resolve such issues.
Orthotics can be provided to all ages from the competitive athlete, the casual exercise enthusiast to the elderly where walking and even standing has become a problem.
Our physiotherapists have post-graduate experience in assessment for orthotics and will advise you on the best device for your needs, depending on your symptoms, regular activities and finances!
