What are foot orthoses and are there different types?
Foot orthoses are inshoe supports that can be used both short and long term. Foot orthoses can be made from a variety of materials and may be made from a cast or 3D scan of a person’s feet (custom-made) or may be prefrabricated (off the shelf). In the case of prefabricated devices the Podiatrists at Mater Clinic Physio will very often make their own modifcations to these in order to make them more specific to a patient’s needs. The cost involved will vary greatly depending on what needs to be done but may be covered in part by a patient’s Private Health Insurance.
