Prescription Orthotics

Supporting you all the way

The structure of your foot supports your entire weight. The slightest misalignment of muscles and bones can cause many different problems.

The symptoms of faulty foot mechanics may begin with any of the following:

1. Localised foot pain
2. Bunions, hammer toes
3. Arch, heel pain
4. Leg, knee pain
5. Hip or back pain, even neck pain.

You can hurt all over!

What can you do?

Our chiropractors can prescribe foot orthotics to help correct your specific body imbalance.

What are prescription orthotics?

Prescription orthotics are medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Orthotics work on the feet in the same way braces work on the teeth – by exerting gentle consistent pressure to bring muscles and bones back into proper alignment. They fit comfortably in shoes and are usually made of flexible moulded thermoplastic. The devices are always made from custom precise impressions taken of your feet.

How do orthotics help?

Your feet are the foundation of your entire body. They do an incredible amount of work each day. The smallest imbalance can cause a great deal of discomfort, but properly fitted prescription orthotics help restore the normal balance and alignment of your body and bring relief from fatigue and pain. Orthotics are so comfortable and help your feet work so naturally that you will want to wear them as much as possible.

The wearing of orthotics

In your shoes your feet rest comfortable on the orthotics. Your feet are gently and consistently forced into the correct functioning position for walking, running and standing. Pressure points, improper rotation of the foot, painful muscle strain and abnormal forces on the legs, hips and spine are eliminated because orthotics enable your feet to function properly.

Gaitscan Appointments

Should one of our chiropractors recommend booking you for a Gaitscan, the appointment will be 1 hour long.  During that hour your chiropractor will look at the way you stand and walk across our Gaitscan plate which will take the measurements of your gait and show you your reading against the “ideal model” so that you can see the difference.

Your chiropractor will then treat you and realign your body and then re-scan you.  Then a comparison will be made between the results pre and post treatment and the difference treatment and orthotics can make to your condition.

Should you wish to go ahead and order the orthotics, the prescription will be taken from the post-treatment reading.  Our front desk team will guide you through the ordering process.

Ordering Prescription Orthotics

A minimum deposit of £75.00 is needed to process the order. Once it has gone through it should take between 3 and 4 weeks for them to arrive as they are manufactured in Canada and distributed by the Ireland Branch. As soon as they arrive you will be notified and an Orthotic Fitting appointment will be made.
It is really important to have your Orthotics fitted by your ITRM Chiropractor, to make sure that they fit correctly.

It is important to have the fitting done as The Orthotic Group (TOG) may refuse to make any alterations/repairs to the orthotics. It is their policy that all orthotics must be fitted by the practitioner to ensure that there are no manufacturing problems.

Usually a further appointment will need to be made a week after receiving the orthotics to make sure that everything is satisfactory. This is charged at our normal rate.

The Orthotics are covered by a 5 year warranty so any repairs needed to be made to the structure of them are covered.

The Top Cover of the Orthotics is also covered by a 6 month warranty, if the orthotics need to be recovered past those 6 months there is a charge. Recovers usually take 10 working days to arrive.
