Assessment
During a visit with our Pedorthists, we will conduct a comprehensive range of motion and gait assessment, as well as electronically record your gait (a person’s manner of walking) to illustrate our findings to you. We will develop a treatment plan based on your needs and lifestyle requirements.
Orthotics
Both customized and custom-made orthotics enable the feet to be supported in a more stable position in order to help correct imbalances and reduce stress and strain on the rest of your body. Over time, the use of orthotics may give you relief from both pain and fatigue – so you can once again enjoy your favourite activities.
Compression Stockings
Medical compression stockings are a type of elastic device used mainly on the limbs, to exert a controlled pressure on the legs. By compressing the limbs, the medical compression device squeezes the vein walls together, thereby reducing swelling and improving overall circulation. At The Foot Smith, we have a wide selection of compression stockings from industry leaders and can assess & fit a variety of medical compression grades and styles to suit your needs.
Bracing
A Brace is a rigid and semi-rigid device which is used for the purpose of supporting a weak or deformed body member or restricting or eliminating motion in a disease or injured part of the body. We will work with you to determine what type of brace is required based on our assessment and your physicians diagnosis.
Footwear modifications
Footwear modifications are adaptations made to a shoe(s) to improve foot function and/or accommodate specific pathologies. Although footwear has come a long way in terms of offering orthopedic or therapeutic features without affecting style, sometimes the shoe may need to be modified to be accommodating to your lifestyle.
