Frequently Asked Questions

What are orthotics and how can they help me? Orthotics are custom-made or specially selected insoles that fit inside your shoes to correct the way your feet function. They can help relieve pain from conditions like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, bunions, and knee or back pain caused by poor foot alignment.

How do I know if I need orthotics? Common signs that orthotics might help include persistent foot, heel, or arch pain, uneven shoe wear, discomfort in your knees, hips, or lower back, and feet that tire easily. We carry out a thorough biomechanical assessment to determine whether orthotics are right for you.

Are orthotics uncomfortable to wear? There may be a short adjustment period of a week or two while your feet get used to the new support, but orthotics should not be painful. We ensure a proper fit and can make adjustments if needed to ensure your comfort.

How long do orthotics last? Depending on the type and how frequently you wear them, orthotics typically last between 1 and 3 years. We'll check them at your regular appointments and advise when they need replacing or adjusting.
