Orthotics
We use a range of aids including insoles, braces and splints, to increase joint mobility, reduce pain and increase function for both upper and lower limbs. By working closely with our rehabilitation technologies workshop, we provide high quality products that can be bespoke to patients' needs.
We manage mainly long-term conditions, but also help with acute conditions such as plantar fascitis and other foot and ankle complaints.
We see patients with:
- Musculo-skeletal problems (chronic and acute)
- Neurological impairment resulting in physical disability
- Diabetes
- Rheumatological conditions
- Orthopaedic conditions
We also help support patients' rehabilitation by running clinics, including:
- diabetic foot clinics
- one-stop insole provision
- joint physiotherapy and orthotics clinics
- clinics at special schools in the community
Referrals are made by a GP or other healthcare professional.
