PRESCRIPTION ORTHOTICS
Have you been told you need orthotics?
Our custom orthotics are prescribed after a full gait assessment, 3D-scanned to your feet, and designed to fit the shoes you actually wear, not just trainers.
Does this sound like you?
- You have foot pain and aren't sure what to do or who to ask
- You think you might need orthotics but aren't sure they'll work for you
- You've tried expensive orthotics before and you're still in pain
- Your orthotics are too bulky for anything but trainers
- You're avoiding walks because of pain
- You have recurring foot, ankle, knee or back pain
Book an assessment and find out what's right for you.
ABOUT THE SERVICE
What are prescription orthotics?
Orthotics look like insoles, but they're medical devices, a bit like prescription glasses for your feet. They improve how your feet move and take load, which can reduce pain in your feet and further up the body.
At Achilles Foot Clinic, we use state-of-the-art 3D laser scanning to capture an exact optical contour of your foot in its optimal corrected position.
Slim, comfortable designs fit into work, everyday and sports shoes, not just trainers.
WHEN IT MAY HELP
When might orthotics be prescribed?
Prescription orthotics can help with:
- Plantar fasciitis and chronic heel spur pain
- Flat feet, fallen arches or overpronation
- Bunion and big-toe joint pressure
- Forefoot pain and Morton's neuroma
- Diabetic pressure offloading and ulcer prevention
- Knee, hip or lower back pain linked to how you walk
Engineered from precise 3D optical scans.
Customised to fit your preferred footwear style.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
How are custom orthotics made?
A three-step process ensures a perfect fit
Examination & video gait analysis
We examine your feet and film how you walk, so we can see exactly what's causing your pain.
3D scan
A quick 3D scan captures the exact shape of your feet. No messy plaster casts.
Fitting & rehab plan
We fit your orthotics to your shoes and give you a rehab plan to get the best result. Many patients then need them less over time.
WHAT TO EXPECT
What does wearing orthotics feel like?
New orthotics feel supportive and structured. We provide a gradual 2-week break-in schedule so your foot muscles adapt comfortably.
Follow-up checks ensure the orthotics remain effective and comfortable.
