Your Orthotics Assessment in Basingstoke
Every patient is different, which is why Lisa takes a personalised approach to orthotic assessments.
During your appointment, she will discuss your symptoms, medical history and daily activities before assessing the structure and function of your feet. She will also observe your walking pattern to identify any issues that may be contributing to discomfort or affecting mobility.
Based on this assessment, Lisa can recommend orthotic solutions tailored to your individual needs, helping to improve comfort, balance and long term foot health.
What Are Orthotics?
Orthotics are specially designed insoles that fit inside your shoes to help improve foot function, support the arches and reduce pressure on painful areas of the feet. They are commonly recommended for patients experiencing foot pain, heel pain, plantar fasciitis and other conditions that affect mobility and comfort.
Unlike standard insoles purchased from shops, orthotic solutions are selected based on your individual foot structure, symptoms and walking pattern. By improving alignment and supporting the feet more effectively, orthotics can help reduce strain on muscles, joints and ligaments throughout the body.
Lisa Fuller provides personalised orthotics assessments in Basingstoke, helping patients find the most appropriate solution for their needs and lifestyle.
Conditions Orthotics Can Help With
Orthotics can be beneficial for a wide range of common foot and lower limb problems. By improving the way the feet function, they can help reduce discomfort and support more comfortable movement.
Orthotics for Plantar Fasciitis
Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Orthotics can help support the arch of the foot and reduce stress on the plantar fascia, helping many patients walk more comfortably and manage ongoing symptoms.
Orthotics for Heel Pain
Persistent heel pain can make everyday activities uncomfortable. Orthotics may help by redistributing pressure away from painful areas and providing additional support where it is needed most.
Orthotics for Flat Feet
Flat feet can place additional strain on the feet, ankles and knees. Orthotics can provide enhanced arch support and help improve foot alignment during walking and standing.
Orthotics for Foot Fatigue
If your feet regularly feel tired or achy after standing or walking, orthotics may help improve comfort and reduce strain by providing additional support and cushioning.
