Conditions Where Orthotics May Help Birrong Patients

Birrong has an active sporting community, and many patients we see from the area are runners, footballers and netballers with foot, ankle and shin pain. Orthotic therapy is often part of management for Sever’s Disease (Kids Heel Pain), sports injuries, ankle sprains & instability, alongside footwear advice, strengthening and stretching.

Sever’s Disease (Kids Heel Pain)

Research suggests heel raises and foot orthoses can help reduce heel pain in active children with Sever’s disease.

Sports Injuries

Sport-specific orthoses, including slim designs for boots, may help manage overload injuries in runners and field-sport players.

Learn more

Ankle Sprains & Instability

Where foot posture contributes to ankle rolling, orthoses may be combined with balance training and bracing.

Learn more

Achilles Tendon Pain

Heel raises and orthoses may be used short term to reduce Achilles tendon load while a strengthening program is progressed.

Learn more

Shin Splints

Where foot mechanics contribute, orthoses may help distribute load through the lower leg with a graded return to running.

Osgood-Schlatter Disease

Load management and exercise come first; orthoses may be considered where foot posture adds to knee loading.

How Orthotic Therapy Works for Birrong Patients

Foot orthoses are shoe inserts designed to change how load is shared through the foot and lower limb. They may reduce strain on painful tissues, support foot posture and improve comfort during walking, work and sport.

  1. Assessment – history, foot posture, joint range, strength and a gait assessment.
  2. Discussion – whether orthoses are likely to help, and whether prefabricated or custom devices suit your needs.
  3. Fitting – orthoses are fitted to your everyday, work or sports footwear.
  4. Review – comfort and symptoms are reviewed, with adjustments where needed. Children’s orthoses are reviewed as feet grow.
