Prescription foot orthotics can make a big difference in your daily comfort levels, and can actually result in a reduction of many deformities taking place in the feet over the years. Please feel free to make an appointment to come in and have an orthotic assessment done. During this appointment we will take a full medical, medicines and sport history from you, and carry out any necessary Vascular, neurological, dermatological and biomechanical examination required. You will then be given options for orthotic therapy, if the appointment deems them as being clinically relevant and the best intervention for you. Prescription orthotics require a 3D laser scan, which gathers hundreds and thousands of vital pieces of information in 2.4 seconds, to create a 3 dimensional model of your foot to accompany your prescription to our Laboratory. Orthotics normally take 7 business days to make, but a shorter 3 day return can be arranged for a small fee. Please ring us today and see what we base our reputation on, intimate and personal podiatric medicine management, on a first name basis.
