When you choose Lower Limb for your orthotics, you’ll receive a world-class assessment, and if orthotics are needed, they will be custom-made by our experts.
This is our orthotic process
With our world-class assessment and orthotics made by us, this allows us to do a number of things
We control the design process. All our orthotics are made via CAD (computer-aided design). This ensures an extremely high level of precision and is totally bespoke.
Once the design process is complete your 3D CAD designs are sent to our 3 Axis milling machine. This process is called direct milling. Again this is the gold standard in manufacturing orthotics, is extremely accurate and produces the highest quality of orthoses.
Finally, all our orthotics undergo a thorough quality standards check and double-check against your prescription.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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"
