Here at Foot & Ankle Experts we focus on finding the right orthotic solution for our patients. Orthotics are used to help with externally altering our neuromuscular and skeletal system.
Custom-made Orthotics
What kind of orthotics do we make and what are they good for?
Custom feet thermoplastic insoles (Heat moulded)
This orthotic promotes an active windlass mechanism thus allowing functional correction of your subtalar joint. As it is fitted to your active arch, you will not experience any discomfort while wearing this orthotic.
Best suited for mild and functional pes Cavus and pes Planus foot type.
The advantages of the heat moulded insoles are:
- Can be moulded several times (up to 50 times) to customise to your foot.
- More financially affordable than traditional 3D orthotics
- Comes with five different orthotic types to suit your needs (sports, control, slim, diabetic)
- The whole process is done during patients appointment. There is no wait time.
