What are Orthotics?

An orthosis—commonly known as an orthotic—is a specialised device designed to support, align, or improve the function of the feet and lower limbs. Problems with foot posture or biomechanics can have significant impacts not only on your feet but also on your ankles, knees, hips, and even your back.

At Dynamic Podiatry, located in Ferny Hills, we use orthotics to help improve foot function, relieve pain, prevent injuries, and enhance overall mobility. Orthotics work by redistributing pressure across the foot, controlling excessive motion, and supporting proper alignment during walking or running.

Custom Orthotics vs Off-the-Shelf Orthotics

Not all orthotics are created equal. There’s a significant difference between custom-made orthotics and off-the-shelf options:

· Custom Orthotics

o Created specifically for your feet

o Made using precise measurements from a laser optical foot scan

o Designed to match your unique foot shape, biomechanics, and specific medical needs

o Manufactured using advanced technology such as 3D printing and CNC milling for accuracy and durability

o Customisable for your footwear and lifestyle, much like how prescription glasses are tailored to your vision needs

· Off-the-Shelf Orthotics

o Pre-made in standard sizes and shapes

o May provide basic support but lack the personalised correction and precision of custom devices

o Often suitable for mild or temporary discomfort but may not effectively treat complex or persistent conditions

Orthotics in Ferny Grove

At Dynamic Podiatry, we believe that custom orthotics deliver superior outcomes because they’re tailored precisely to you. We invest in the latest scanning and manufacturing technologies to ensure the best possible fit and function for your feet.

How We Create Your Custom Orthotics

At Dynamic Podiatry, we combine clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology:

Laser Optical Scanning – captures an exact 3D model of your foot shape and arch profile.

Biomechanical Assessment – we analyse your gait, foot alignment, joint range of motion, muscle strength, and footwear to understand how your body moves.

Advanced Manufacturing – we use both 3D printing and CNC milling to produce highly accurate and durable custom orthotic devices tailored to your unique prescription.

Every pair of orthotics we prescribe is as unique as you are. Like custom eyeglasses, they’re individually designed to fit your feet and your shoes, providing optimal comfort and support.
