ORTHOTIC SERVICES

Orthotic devices, sometimes called “Orthotics” are customised shoe inserts that are prescribed following a thorough Biomechanical examination.

A plaster cast of your foot is made with the foot held in its anatomically correct position. Once the cast is made the Orthotic device is manufacture to assist in maintaining correct positioning of your foot and alignment of the feet, legs and hips.

Many types of Orthotic devices are used. They can be firm or soft, depending on the condition being treated, the activities performed, footwear worn and the size of the individual. The style of orthotic device used will be discussed with you to ensure the best possible results.

All our Orthotic devices are made in our purpose built laboratory in South Australia. Alex is closely involved in all aspects of the manufacturing process from start to finish. Our Orthotic laboratory technicians have been working with Alex for more more than 15 years and consequently have developed excellent skills. This ensures that your Orthotic device will give you the most accurate correction possible and the best outcome for your specific condition.
