What types of Orthotics do we provide?
Sports Orthotics
Sports orthotics are designed specifically for running, walking, or other sports. Sports orthotics are more durable with a softer, full-length top cover to provide additional comfort and cushioning and prevent blisters from occurring. These custom orthotics are suitable for shoes with a full-length removable inner sole, such as running shoes and football boots.
Slimthotics
These orthotics fit in narrow shoes that are usually lower profile. They provide the same level of correction but are worn in a wide variety of shoes. They are highly customisable and enable you to get a broader range of widths and colours to suit your shoe style.
Cycling Orthotics
Custom-designed orthotics that fit into cycling shoes whilst ensuring you maintain comfort and efficient power transfer through your pedals. These orthotics are cleverly designed from carbon fibre to provide a lightweight and durable orthotic that fixes your cycling foot pain.
Laser Therapy FAQs
Is laser therapy safe?
Yes, laser therapy is considered safe for most patients. It is non-invasive and does not involve the use of drugs or surgery. The procedure is typically painless, with minimal side effects. However, it’s essential to consult with a podiatrist to determine if it is appropriate for your specific condition.
How many sessions of laser therapy will I need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response to therapy. Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, but chronic conditions may require more frequent treatments over several weeks. Your podiatrist will create a personalised treatment plan.
What can I expect during a laser therapy session?
During a laser therapy session, you will be asked to sit comfortably while the podiatrist uses a handheld laser device to target the affected area. Each session typically lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, and most patients report feeling a soothing sensation with no discomfort.
Are there any side effects associated with laser therapy?
Laser therapy is generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects. Some patients may experience mild soreness in the treated area or slight redness, which typically resolves quickly. Always consult your podiatrist if you have any concerns about your treatment.
How long does it take to see results from laser therapy?
Many patients report experiencing relief from pain and improved function after the first few sessions, but full benefits may take time to manifest. It’s essential to follow your podiatrist’s recommendations regarding the treatment plan for optimal results.
