Custom Orthotics

At Turramurra Podiatry, we’re proud to provide custom orthotics for our patients. Orthotics can be incredibly beneficial to those who suffer from foot pain or pain caused by their foot function.

What Are Custom Orthotics?

Orthotics are shoe inserts that support an abnormal or irregular movement of the foot. These devices can be made from a wide range of different materials and shapes.

Orthotics can be used to treat foot problems, as well as leg, knee and back problems. These items are so much more than simple shoe inserts. They can be customised specifically for your feet and whatever foot condition you may be suffering from.

How To Get Custom Orthotics

Our podiatrists will take a thorough history of your condition followed by a physical examination relevant to you. This may involve joint range of motion tests and muscle testing. We will also look at you walking to analyse your foot function to determine any abnormalities which may be contributing to your pain. If further information is required we may refer you for xray or ultrasound imaging. After these diagnostic methods are taken into account, your podiatrist will make treatment recommendations that can include orthotics.

Do I Need Custom Orthotics?​

Not everyone needs to wear orthotics, however if you have flat feet or are experiencing pain caused by the way your foot is functioning, 

then orthotics are an excellent solution. It is very important to see a podiatrist first, so they can properly diagnose your condition and provide you with an appropriate orthotic that will best suit you and your feet.

Our Services

Heel Pain

Our team begins the procedure by looking for inflammation if any, the occurrence of heel spurs or Plantar Fasciitis, bruised bones, pronation, Achilles Tendinitis, and rheumatoid arthritis, among other things. Then they will prescribe a treatment plan that addresses the cause along with providing improved pain relief.

Orthotics

Our podiatrists have the expertise to prescribe orthotics for you. Orthotics provide huge benefits to those that require them. After a detailed biomechanical assessment, we will discuss the many options we have in our range of orthotics to help alleviate the problem.

Ingrown Toenails

If you suffer from ingrown toenails, our podiatrists will thoroughly examine your feet to establish any underlying pathologies. Often this is a simple procedure to remove the offending nail piece and have you walking out pain-free. Other factors may also need to be addressed such as poor-fitting footwear.

General Foot Care

We see people of all ages and backgrounds for foot care and advice. General foot care is particularly important for those suffering from chronic or acute diseases, or those with pre-existing issues of the foot. It typically includes nail cutting, treating ingrown toenails, callus, and corns, among other things.
