Custom Orthotics
Orthotics are inserts we use to provide support, or to redistribute pressure from under the foot, or area of pain. Orthotics are used to help conditions such as, heel pain, flat feet, sore knees, plantar fasciitis, ball of the foot pain, heel spur, shin splint and bunions.
Orthotic Types
Orthotics come in many different types. From off the shelf, to semi custom (“Joey’s”) through to fully custom made devices, Ivanhoe Podiatry Centre can offer a solution.
Orthotic Process
To decide on which type of orthotic is required we complete a biomechanical assessment of your feet. We may trial some padding to mimic an orthotic and ask you to test it for a week or so to see if there is improvement in the condition you are experiencing. Then, if supplying custom orthotics a scan of your foot is taken and a prescription written based on the results of the assessment and scan and a device is then made to perfectly fit your foot.

We use Melbourne based, Footwork Podiatric Laboratory to make our semi and fully custom orthotics.
