PRESCRIPTION ORTHOTICS / ORTHOTIC SHOES for pain in foot.

Orthotic shoes, or, better still, custom-made orthotic insoles / orthotic support, provide pain relief for pain in foot, toe pain, arch pain, heel pain, corn and calluses (callouses) and other problems related to foot pain.

Research shows that 60 to 70 percent of people have abnormally functioning feet. Functional problems in your feet can alter your walking pattern and cause pain throughout your body.

If you suffer from pain in foot, it is important that you wear proper orthotic shoes or shoes with prescription orthotics / orthotic insoles.

Do not just live with the foot pain!

Firstly, you don't have to. More importantly, pain in foot affects your gait – that is, your way of walking.

And if your gait is imbalanced, it can lead to aches and pain in other parts of the body, including lower back pain, back ache, neck pain, and so on.

But while there are a few brands of commercially available orthotic shoes, these are not custom-made to suit your feet and your gait. Remember, every one is different when it comes to orthotics and there is no such thing as "one-size fits all" !

Moreover, the choice of fashion is very limited when you buy orthotic shoes.

Prescription orthotics, which are custom-made orthotic insoles, are thus a better solution.

At NAILTECH & CHIROPODY CENTRE, we are pleased to offer prescription custom-made orthotics produced with THE ORTHOTIC GROUP (TOG) GAITSCAN^TM – a computerised system of gait analysis that precisely measures the pressure exerted on different points of your feet.

The process consists of four essential steps:

1. SCAN FOOT
As you walk across the plate of the GAITSCAN^TM device, thousands of sensors capture the distribution of pressure throughout the sole of your foot over time.

2. MAP FOOT PRESSURE
From your step, the computer displays on its screen 2-D and 3-D (two-dimensional and three-dimensional) representations of the pressure under your foot.

3. PRINT REPORT
This information is also summarised in an analysis report that can be printed for you to see. The report findings will help our chiropodist / podiatrist evaluate your foot function and determine if the symptoms you are experiencing are related to faulty foot mechanics.

4. DETERMINE NEED FOR ORTHOTIC THERAPY
This information will assist our chiropodist / podiatrist to determine your need for orthotic therapy, and will aid the lab in manufacturing prescription orthotic insoles to support your feet.

If you suffer from pain in foot, corn and calluses, heel pain, arch pain, toe pain and other body aches and pain, you owe it to yourself to do a TOG GAITSCAN^TM computerised foot pressure analysis.

TOG offers a wide range of prescription orthotics, including orthotic insoles for general use, children, diabetic foot, extra comfort and dress shoes. For details, click here to view the complete range on the TOG website.

If you are currently wearing commercially available orthotic shoes and find that they do not offer effective foot pain relief, it is time you switch to prescription orthotic insoles.
