Barangaroo Orthopaedic and Sports Injury Clinic

The key to better health could be right under your… toes

Your feet are integral to the good health of the rest of your body. In much the same way solid foundations guarantee the stability of a house, your feet support the weight of everything above them. When a small change occurs in your feet, the subtle difference in the way you walk will lead to a chain reaction of adjustments to your posture and walking mechanics. These changes can in turn place stress on joints higher up in your body, leading to more serious problems.

The symptoms of faulty foot mechanics can include any one of the following:

• Foot pain


• Bunions, hammer toes


• Arch/heel pain


• Leg/knee pain


• Hip or back pain


• Neck pain

Custom Orthotics

Barangaroo Orthopaedic and Sports Injury Clinic’s Foot Injury Clinic can assess your foot biomechanics and help rebalance your feet, reducing pain and discomfort by enhancing your body’s natural movements. Our Orthotics are custom-made to correct your specific foot imbalance.

Orthotics work with your feet in a similar manner to the way glasses work on your eyes – they lower the stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into correct alignment. Orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – with the added advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.

Properly made Orthotics are custom moulded to support the requirements of your feet. They help restore the balance and alignment of your body by gently correcting foot abnormalities.
