Biomechanical Assessment
A biomechanical assessment looks at the way your foot and lower limb (hip, lower back, knee, etc.) functions during movement (walking, running, etc.). It is a non-invasive physical assessment measuring any structural or functional issues that are contributing to your condition.
Custom Foot Orthotic Sizing and Fitting
Ballarat Podiatry uses state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology to get a highly accurate model of your foot which enables your podiatrist to craft a custom orthotic unique to your foots shape and sizing.
Your custom foot orthotic will be made with a durable and lightweight material with the additional supports in the three main areas of the shoe insole as required to treat your condition.
Once your custom foot orthotics are ready a podiatrist appointment will be made for you to have the new orthotics fitted into your shoes.
What to Expect from Foot Orthotics
Your Ballarat Podiatry custom foot orthotics are special shoe inserts that will be hand-crafted to your foots natural shape to provide support, correct alignment, and improve the overall function of the feet and lower limbs.
There may be an initial awareness or mild discomfort when you first start using your custom foot orthotics however you will adapt and soon not notice you are using orthotics at all.
If you are using orthotics to address specific foot conditions or injuries, such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arched feet, bunions or tendonitis, you will notice a gradual reduction in symptoms and pain.
