Orthotics and Biomechanics

This is a highly specialised service carried out by Fiona McGeough BSc Hons HPC Reg MChS Cannock Chiropodist / Podiatrist.

The session takes around 1 hour and involves a detailed gait analysis where you are recorded from both sides front and back, statically and dynamically and the results are then analysed . This also involves heel lift timing and knee flexion symetry.

If it is decided that you require orthotics, a  non-weight bearing plaster of paris cast  will be taken of your feet. This is then what  the Sub-4 lab uses to make your orthoses (insoles/orthotics) in the laboratory. All of the Sub-4 staff use the most traditional and latest techniques (including CADCAM) in the cast preparation and orthotic building.

These special one off orthoses (insoles/orthotics) go inside your daily and sports footwear,  they then help to cure your pain/ injury by correcting any biomechanical dysfunction and making you as efficient as possible. They can last as long as ten years if looked after. You are given thorough instructions with orthoses on how to use them in the first few days as you adapt to them.

Importantly, 9 times out of 10, you will also be given an exercise prescription to help treat the root of the problem.

It has been found that 95% of practitioners only treat the symptoms which is great but it only moves the problem some where else shortly after.

All repetitive injuries are biomechanical in origin, so it makes sense to look at function and gait, i.e. the way you walk and run.

Prescription orthoses may be suitable for most types of foot/leg pain/injury.....book your Biomechanical Assessment and find out -The assessment consultations  are carried out by Fiona McGeough, MChS, SRCh. HPC Registered.
