WHAT IS A PLANTAR ORTHOSIS?
If you are facing a malformation or pathology in the foot, the podiatrist is best placed to assess and treat a local condition with a plantar orthosis. The plantar orthosis is a small device designed or manufactured to measure and then placed in your shoe or under your feet. Doctors prescribe the plantar orthosis to correct posture problems, a foot malformation or to treat pain that has a direct effect on the joints and muscles of your body.

HIGH ARCHES AND FLAT FEET
Foot orthotics can correct the foot structure where there is an inadequate arch. Flat feet are a condition where the arch is too low or totally absent, and high arches refer to cases where the curve of the arch is too pronounced. The right orthotics will relieve pain and provide proper support for each foot. Make an appointment with one of our podiatrists to find out more about our orthotics.
