Custom Orthotics for Knee and Hip Pain Treatment in
Limerick & Charleville Cork
Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment.Your feet are the foundation of your body; as you walk, run, and play, they support you and help protect your ankles, knees, hips and/or back from damaging stress. Your feet perform better when all of the muscles, arches, and bones are in their ideal stable positions. When the supportive structure of the foot is compromised, it can result in dysfunction and pain in the feet, knees and back. Custom orthotics can be the solution to enhance the structural support of your feet and eliminate your pain.
With over 25 years of experience, Don Kelly Physiotherapy and Acupuncture is committed to providing expert care in both Limerick and Charleville. Our clinics are conveniently located to serve the local communities, offering flexible appointment times to accommodate your needs.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics for Knee Pain?
At Don Kelly Physiotherapy and Acupuncture, we specialize in providing personalized custom orthotics designed to alleviate knee pain and enhance mobility. Our orthotics are tailored to your unique foot structure and gait, ensuring optimal support and alignment.
The body assessment image shows how imbalances in the feet can lead to knee rotation, pelvic tilt and shoulder drop. These imbalances in the body can be caused by pronation and supination of the foot.
These instabilities can lead to conditions such as plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, back pain, and neck pain.
A properly aligned body will have symmetrical feet, level knees, pelvis and shoulders. Wearing Custom Orthotics may help alleviate imbalances and conditions caused by those imbalances.

Custom Orthotics FAQ – Don Kelly Physiotherapy & Acupuncture
Custom orthotics are specially designed shoe inserts tailored to the unique shape of your feet. They help correct biomechanical issues, reduce knee and foot pain, and improve overall alignment.
Orthotics help redistribute pressure on your knees and lower limbs, improving gait and reducing strain on painful joints. They are particularly effective for conditions like patellofemoral pain, osteoarthritis, or injury-related knee discomfort.
At Don Kelly Physiotherapy, the process typically involves a detailed assessment and gait analysis. Once your measurements are taken, it usually takes 1–2 weeks for your custom orthotics to be made.
Most adults and children with foot or knee alignment issues can benefit from orthotics. Your physiotherapist will assess your suitability during your consultation.
