Orthotics

What are Orthotics?

 

Feet take a pounding during the day. When you think about the amount of distance that your feet cover in a day, week, month and year you begin to appreciate the important role your feet play and how quite easily pain can be caused due to the stresses that are placed on the function of the foot.

Orthotics are devices that are used to control and correct abnormal foot function. These specially designed devices are worn inside the shoe. When the foot is not functioning properly, it will produce painful areas. Correctly designed orthotics will not only correct foot function but will realign crucial biomechanical abnormalities. 

 

Orthotics come in many different forms. Global Health Plus design their orthotics to fit inside most types of shoes, which has long been a problem with many other orthotic devices.

 

Orthotics are used for many different conditions from childhood right through to adulthood. They are used by sportsmen and women, children, the elderly, people in occupations that have to be on their feet all day such as chefs, shop assistants, nurses etc. Most professional athletes and even athletes that compete for fun have specially designed orthotics that assist in increasing their performance.

 

Orthotics are normally quite comfortable and you may not even be aware you have them inside your shoe. While in others sometimes initial pain may be felt as the orthotic correctly aligns the foot. This will not be long term and will normally subside once the correction in the biomechanics of the foot has taken place. 

 

The orthotic will normally last for years and after a while you will even forget that they are in your shoe. Global Health Plus are custom made from a pliable composition that is specifically designed for your condition and foot type. The latest technology is used in one of only 25 high tech machines in Australia today. This imported technology ensures high quality foot orthotics are made.

 

While controlling the position and motion of the foot your custom made orthotic will ensure that no ongoing bio-mechanical problems are allowed to continue.

 

It’s nice to know there is an answer to that pain

and it is as close as a consultation away from

being corrected.
