Custom Orthotics in Forster

Improving Gait & Reducing Pain with Orthotics

At Macintosh Lower Limb Clinic, we are committed to providing personalised and evidence-based care to our clients experiencing lower limb pain and dysfunction. Our dedicated team of podiatrists conducts thorough biomechanical and gait assessments to analyse the intricacies of your unique foot structure and movement patterns. Based on the comprehensive results of these assessments, we make informed decisions regarding the appropriateness of orthotic therapy on a case-by-case basis.

How Orthotic Therapy Works

Orthotic therapy is a treatment method that involves the creation of customised orthotic devices to address specific foot concerns. Our process begins with precise 3-dimensional imaging of your feet. This can be achieved through various means such as plaster casts, 3D imprint boxes or advanced computer scans. These images serve as the foundation for crafting orthotics tailored to your individual needs.

Customised Solutions for Your Comfort

At Macintosh Lower Limb Clinic, we understand that every client is unique and their orthotic needs may vary. Therefore, we offer a range of orthotic solutions, including both soft (EVA) and more rigid (polypropylene) devices. The choice between these materials is determined by several factors, including the specific condition being treated, the age of the client and, importantly, the client's personal preference.

Soft (EVA) Devices

EVA orthotics are softer, providing cushioning and shock absorption. They are used for clients seeking increased comfort and support for everyday activities.

Rigid (Polypropylene) Devices

Polypropylene orthotics offer firmer support, addressing various foot conditions and providing stability during movement. They are suitable for clients seeking enhanced control and correction.
