Custom Orthotics Made In Belfast

By coming to Lower Limb for your orthoses not only will you undergo a world-class assessment but if orthotics are required they will be made by us.

Why Choose Us

With our world-class assessment and orthotics made by us, this allows us to do a number of things..

Orthotics For Sport

Whether you play football, GAA or rugby we can design orthotics specific to your boots so that fit does not compromise support. For running, we can manufacture with materials that will be durable, shock-absorbing and anti-fungal / odour.

Orthotics For Everyday

Everyday orthotics depend on your footwear choice and occupation. Careful consideration needs to be taken in material choice. For example, someone who wears a steel toe cap boot all the time may require full-length orthotics with extra cushioning compared to a patient who wears a more formal brogue type shoe that may require a 3/4 length orthotic for a more streamlined fit.

Orthotics For Children

We see many children in the clinic, often parents just need reassurance that the feet are normal and developing at their own pace. For occasions where we do need to intervene it is essential that the orthotic isn't too aggressive, fits well and is flexible enough to allow your child to walk, run and jump without restriction. We can also offer outgrowth solutions so that when your child's feet grow we can offer replacement orthotics at a reduced rate.

Orthotics For Elderly

Unfortunately, as we age the foot can lose its natural ability to adapt to different terrains and efficiently absorb shock and propel forward. Elderly patients tend to wear much softer shoes and prefer materials that are heavily cushioned. However, this comes as a compromise to support at a time when the foot really needs it! We can manufacture a specialist dual-density type of orthotic to provide a soft feel but not compromising on support. Keeping those arches supported, feet balanced and active for many more years.

How Does Our Orthotics Process Work?

This is our orthotic process

We first dive into a thorough assessment and medical history.
Digital gait analysis with pressure plates and even 3D gait analysis if required
Ultrasound scanning can be carried out on the day, giving us unbelievably clear pictures of injured muscles / tendons
We use 3D scanning technology to capture your unique foot shape
This 3D image is combined with the pressure plate assessment and CAD to help us engineer your bespoke orthotic
Then our milling machine with the help of CAD will produce your orthotic with amazing precision and accuracy
You will then be invited for a fitting appointment where the fit and quality is checked
All our orthotic shells come with a 5 year warranty against breakage
All our podiatrists are HCPC and Royal College of Podiatry approved

What Our Clients Say

 5/5

Visited with Conleth today with ongoing problems with my feet. After a very through examination I’ve ordered custom made orthotics. Very pleasant guy to work with.

Claire Gardner

Highly recommend Paul! I’ve seen a few podiatrists over the years and by far Paul has been the best! My whole experience was 10/10, Paul put me at ease before my procedure and was very helpful in regards to after care. Highly recommend. I’ll be more than happy to return if I have any other foot issues

Natalie Wilson

Went to see Paul with severe heel and toe pain in my right foot after an old injury got worse. Literally couldn't run 20 yards without hobbling for a week afterwards. After a very comprehensive review, Paul gave me some orthotics and recommended Shock Wave Therapy. Finished treatment at the end of October and now nearly three months later I'm back to my previously active self, training 4 days a week, rock climbing, cycling and running with next to no pain. Can't thank you enough Paul
