There are three common types of orthotics known as soft, rigid, and semi-rigid. Soft orthotics are made to provide extra cushioning while the foot is planted on the ground. Semi-rigid orthotics, which are often used on flat feet, are designed to provide both cushioning and stability.

Podiatrists specialise in assessing and treating various foot-related conditions to promote overall lower limb health. On the other hand, orthotists are trained experts in orthotics, which involves using external devices to correct bone and muscle alignment in the body.

Custom orthotics, on the other hand, are specialized to your feet. Custom orthotics require a prescription from our team, and they help you get rid of pain from certain medical conditions that affect your feet. Custom orthotics also help you fix problems regarding how you walk or run.

There's no difference between a podiatrist and chiropodist, but podiatrist is a more modern name. A podiatrist (chiropodist) can help you with common foot problems, including ingrown toenails and bunions.
