How Do Custom Orthotics Work?

Custom orthotics from Coastal Podiatry are more than just inserts; they’re a personalised approach to improve foot health and function. Here’s how they can help:

Alleviate Pressure

By redistributing weight evenly across your feet, custom orthotics relieve pressure from painful joints and areas prone to ulcers, especially important for diabetic patients.

Support and Stability

From arch support to ankle stability, our orthotics are designed to bolster the natural structure of your feet and legs, reducing fatigue and enhancing balance.

Correct Biomechanics

By adjusting foot movement and alignment, our orthotics can correct biomechanical issues, reducing the strain on tendons and ligaments and preventing injuries.

Customised for Your Life

Whether you're on your feet all day, engaging in sports, or dealing with specific conditions like plantar fasciitis or flat feet, our orthotics are tailored to your activities and challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Will My Orthotics Last?

Our custom orthotics are built to last, offering a more durable solution than over-the-counter shoe inserts. With proper care, they can last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. The lifespan of your orthotics can vary based on your activity levels, occupation, body weight, and how you use them. To extend their life, consider investing in multiple pairs for a variety of shoes. We also suggest an annual check-up to ensure your orthotics still fit your needs and to replace them if necessary, before any discomfort reappears.

Do Orthotics Really Make a Difference?

Absolutely! Custom orthotics play a crucial role in aligning and supporting your feet, reducing pressure on injured areas to promote healing—something difficult to achieve with constant foot stress. Success lies in customisation and correct fitting, which is why we ensure your orthotics are perfectly matched to both your feet and your goals.

Should I Choose Soft or Hard Orthotics?

The choice between soft and hard orthotics depends on your specific footwear and the dimensions required. Your podiatrist will guide you through this decision, considering the types of shoes you wear and your personal needs. Hard orthotics are slimmer and suited for shoes with less space, like soccer boots, while soft orthotics fit better in running shoes or sandals designed for orthotic use. Regardless of the type, your comfort is our priority, and your orthotics will be custom-made to ensure they support your feet without discomfort.

Can I Just Buy Orthotics Off the Shelf?

While it might be tempting, off-the-shelf insoles are not comparable to the custom orthotics prescribed by us. Off-the-shelf options offer generic support and cushioning, assuming a one-size-fits-all approach that rarely addresses specific foot issues effectively. Custom orthotics, on the other hand, are designed to meet your unique needs, providing targeted support and correction that off-the-shelf options cannot match.
