What are Custom Made Foot Orthotics used for?

An orthosis is a medical device, such as a brace or insole, designed to support, align or improve the function of part of the body. Orthoses can be used to help manage a wide range of conditions, reduce pain and improve day-to-day comfort and mobility.

In podiatry, we use custom-made foot orthotics to support the feet and lower limbs, helping to improve comfort, movement and the way your body manages load.

Unlike off-the-shelf insoles, custom orthotics are prescribed specifically for you following a detailed assessment of your feet, movement, gait and symptoms. This allows us to provide targeted support designed around your individual needs and the footwear you use.

Why Patients Choose Us

At the Vale Clinic, providing you with a custom made orthotic is not a stand alone intervention, we approach your care from a holistic point of view, taking into consideration your biomechanical function together with using our state of the art three dimensional (3D) advanced gait analysis technology to objectively and accurately analyse and diagnose your foot and lower limb pain or condition.

The results of your 3D gait analysis and musculoskeletal biomechanical assessment gives a clear picture of your gait and biomechanical function and are used to provide evidence-based treatment recommendations.

"For over 4-5 years I've had pain in my MTP joint of the second toe. Tried various orthotics from other practices, had injections (benefit didn't last long) etc. It took some working out and real perseverance on Ronke's behalf but we finally ended up with an orthotic solution that means I am no longer in any pain, even after playing sports. If this hadn't worked my next step was surgery - so it's a significant outcome for me. Highly recommend the vale clinic if you have a need for orthotics." December 2025

What is my next step?

If you have been told you need orthotics, think you might need them, or you want to replace your existing ones, the first step will be to book an initial biomechanical consultation and assessment with our specialist podiatrist.

Your podiatrist may recommend a combination of interventions together with custom made orthotics.

Other interventions may include:

Advice on the right type of footwear to help your condition
An exercise programme for stretching and strengthening
Mobilisation and Manipulation Therapy
Shockwave Therapy for tendinopathies and myofascial pain
Taping
You may require further investigation using diagnostic ultrasound or x-rays
A referral to another practitioner such as a physiotherapist or sports therapist for further care

Not everyone needs an Orthotic, and if you do need them, an often common misconception is that they need to be used all the time and they cannot be removed from your shoes. The reality is that they can be beneficial for certain conditions, and the duration of use, depends on the problem and what you are trying to achieve with your treatment goals.

Orthoses can be used for a short period of time for example, while you are going through a rehabilitation programme and can be removed afterwards. Remember, it is a brace or splint in the shoe. Sometimes, they may just be required for certain activities in sports and exercise, or walking. Your podiatrist will discuss and agree a personalised plan with you.
