Orthotics at Foot Formula
We specialise in providing a wide range of custom orthotics designed to support, correct, and improve foot function. Orthotics are medical devices inserted into footwear to address various foot and lower limb conditions, such as flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and overpronation. Whether you’re experiencing discomfort in your feet, knees, hips, or back, custom orthotics can provide relief by enhancing foot alignment and improving overall body mechanics.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics?
Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are specifically tailored to the unique structure of your feet. During a detailed assessment, we use advanced technology to analyse your gait and foot mechanics, ensuring your orthotics are perfectly suited to your needs. The benefits of custom orthotics include:
- Improved foot alignment: Corrects abnormal foot positioning to reduce strain on muscles and joints.
- Enhanced comfort: Provides cushioning and support in areas where your feet need it most.
- Pain relief: Alleviates discomfort associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, and more.
- Injury prevention: Helps prevent common foot and lower limb injuries by promoting balanced movement patterns.
At Foot Formula, we offer a variety of orthotic solutions, including custom-made insoles for everyday use, sports orthotics for athletes, and specialised orthotics for individuals with medical conditions like diabetes or arthritis. Whether you're seeking relief from pain or simply looking to improve your foot health, our range of orthotic options ensures there’s a solution for everyone.
3D-Printed Insoles: Precision and Personalisation
One of the most advanced offerings at Foot Formula is our 3D-printed custom insoles. These highly precise, cutting-edge orthotics are designed and printed in-clinic using the latest 3D printing technology, providing an unparalleled level of customisation and accuracy.
The Process
Our 3D-printed insoles are crafted based on detailed data gathered during your gait analysis and foot assessment. Here’s how the process works:
1. Gait Analysis: We begin with a thorough evaluation of your foot structure and movement patterns, using advanced tools like OptoGait and Pressure Plate Analysis to gather precise measurements and assess your specific needs.
2. Designing the Insoles: Using the data from the assessment, we design your custom insoles digitally, ensuring they provide optimal support, cushioning, and alignment correction. The design is tailored to your foot's exact contours and the way you walk or run.
3. 3D Printing: Once the design is finalized, we use 3D printing technology to create your insoles directly in the clinic. This method allows us to produce insoles that are exceptionally accurate, lightweight, and durable. The insoles are made from high-quality materials that offer long-lasting comfort and support.
4. Fitting and Final Adjustments: After printing, we ensure the insoles are a perfect fit for your footwear and make any necessary adjustments to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.
Why Choose 3D-Printed Insoles?
Unmatched Precision: 3D printing allows for exact customisation, ensuring your insoles are tailored to the smallest details of your foot’s structure.
- Improved Comfort and Support: Designed with your specific biomechanics in mind, 3D-printed insoles provide targeted support, helping to alleviate pressure and reduce pain in key areas.
- Durability: 3D-printed insoles are made from high-quality, durable materials that are built to last, providing long-term comfort and support.
- On-Site Production: Unlike traditional insoles that can take weeks to produce, our 3D-printed insoles are made right here at the clinic, allowing for a faster turnaround and the ability to make quick adjustments as needed.
