At Grace Podiatry, we specialise in orthotics and provide foot care at home. We utilise advanced assessment techniques and comprehensive foot care, delivering a solution that fits your health needs and lifestyle.
If you are suffering from aches and pains in your feet, legs, hips, or back, Grace Podiatry can help. Our skilled podiatrists will carry out a thorough examination, assess your posture and gait, scan your feet in 3D and provide custom-made orthotics, all in the comfort of your own home.
Orthotic treatment should not be the same for everyone, which is why we recommend tailored care over generic solutions. Our prescription orthotics are fully customised based on your age, activity levels, and health condition. They are not only soft-accommodating and built for comfort, but also deflect pressure and provide the arch support often lacking in over-the-counter solutions. This personalised approach to orthotics is essential for effectively treating pain caused by medical conditions, including plantar fasciitis, arthritis, tendonopathy, bursitis, Morton’s Neuroma, and knee pain, among foot and lower limb conditions.

FAQs
What are orthotics used for?
Orthotics are prescription-based medical inserts that you wear inside your shoes. They are designed to correct your lower limb biomechanical issues, including posture, how you stand, walk and run.
Are custom orthotics worth it?
Insoles come in generic over-the-counter and fully customised versions. Here’s the thing – you are not generic! What works for you may not work for someone else. Each individual has different biomechanics, activity levels, types of pathology and pain, weight, age and footwear, etc. Over-the-counter inserts may, in fact, make your condition worse or not help at all.
Custom-made orthotics are an investment in your lower limb health that returns benefits to you over time. Over-the-counter inserts are cheaper but are often made with lower-quality materials and are not specifically designed to assist with your particular issues.
How are custom orthotics made?
After your assessment, we take a precise 3D scan of your feet. This scan is sent to a specialised facility where your orthotics are fabricated to your feet and your unique needs.
How long do custom orthotics last?
Custom orthotics generally last between 3 and 5 years, but this is dependent on your activity level and body weight.
What are the best orthotics?
The best orthotics are those designed specifically for you by a highly qualified and skilled Podiatrist.
During the consultation, your Podiatrist will undertake a thorough examination that includes a biomechanical assessment (the science of human motion), including numerous weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing tests and gait (walking) analysis. Your podiatrist will then take highly accurate 3D scans of your feet and prescribe our lab, including all the parameters you need in a great pair of orthotics.
The manufacturing time for custom orthotics is normally around 7 days.
At Grace Podiatry, we believe that we provide the best orthotics on the market. For your new custom orthotics, contact Grace Podiatry or book online.
What will a podiatrist do for ball of foot pain?
Ball of foot pain (metatarsalgia) can be caused by:
- Intense running or jumping;
- Poorly fitting shoes;
- High arches;
- Stress fractures;
- and Excessive pronation (feet rolling inwards)
Our custom-made orthotics can treat a range of ball-of-foot problems by alleviating pressure.
