Conditions We Treat
Conditions of the foot that we can treat using orthotic therapy include:
Overpronation
Your ankles roll in causing your arch to drop low.
Flat Feet
Same overpronation and in most cases where people believe they have flat feet it is not the case as it's their ankles rolling in the cause the 'impression' of flat feet.
Supination
The opposite of pronation/flat feet where your ankles are 'tilted' outwards giving you a high arch and ankle instability.
Pes Cavus (High Arch)
This is the medical term for a high arch foot and usually is accompanied by high pressure under the big toe joint of the ball of the foot and sometimes similar on the little toe joint too.
Bunions
Believe it or not, bunions are usually a problem that originates with an unstable ankle causing the bones of the foot to adapt and leading to the 'V-shaped' look of the big toe joint we call bunions.
Foot Blisters
Yeah, blisters. Recurring blisters can be caused by biomechanics. Pressure due to foot posture causes repetitive pressure and/or friction that can lead to blisters.

Morton's Neuralgia
Morton's Neuroma
