Customised orthotics are specially designed insoles that provide support, comfort, and alignment for your feet. Unlike over-the-counter options, customised orthotics are tailored to your unique foot structure, ensuring optimal support where you need it most. But how do you know if you might need them?

Here are some key signs to watch out for:

1. Persistent Foot Pain – If you experience chronic foot pain, particularly in the arches or heels, it could be a sign that your feet need extra support.

2. Lower Back, Knee, or Hip Pain – Pain in these areas often stems from poor foot alignment. Orthotics can help by correcting your gait and relieving pressure on joints.

3. Flat Feet or High Arches – If you have flat feet or unusually high arches, customised orthotics can provide the right balance and support to prevent discomfort or injury.

4. Uneven Shoe Wear – If your shoes wear out unevenly, this might indicate that your feet are not properly aligned, leading to an unbalanced gait.

5. Frequent Injuries – Recurring injuries, such as ankle sprains or shin splints, may indicate improper foot mechanics that customised orthotics can address.

If you're experiencing any of these signs, don’t hesitate to book an appointment with us at UK Podiatry.
