Whether you're managing chronic foot pain or looking to improve your athletic performance, orthotics can offer a practical solution to various lower limb issues.

Your Unique Needs 

Tailored Custom Orthotics for Optimal Foot Support

Custom orthotics are precision-made shoe inserts that are specifically designed to address your unique foot structure and biomechanics. At Silverstream Podiatry, we take an impression of your foot using advanced 3D scanning or traditional methods like plaster casts, then combine this with a thorough biomechanical assessment. This allows us to craft orthotics that are tailored to your feet, ensuring the best possible fit and comfort. Custom orthotics are designed to be durable and long-lasting, often providing a higher quality solution for ongoing foot issues. When wearing them, you can experience relief from various conditions such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and metatarsalgia.

Benefits of Custom Orthotics:

Precise fit based on your unique foot shape

Long-lasting materials for extended use

Effective in reducing pain and preventing injury

Can be transferred between compatible footwear

Effective & Affordable

Prefabricated Orthotics for Foot Relief

While custom orthotics offer a highly personalised approach, prefabricated orthotics are an excellent alternative for those who need a more immediate or cost-effective solution. These orthotics are pre-designed with general features that can address a range of foot issues. While not customised to your exact foot shape, prefabricated orthotics can still provide significant relief and are an excellent tool for assessing your response to orthotic treatment. Many people find that prefabricated orthotics are a good starting point before considering custom designs, particularly for conditions like shin splints, stress fractures, or managing early signs of arthritis.
