Your feet are the foundation of your body’s movement.
When something goes wrong in their alignment or function, it can cause pain and imbalance that affect the knees, hips, and even your spine. At Don Kelly Physiotherapy and Acupuncture, serving Limerick and Charleville, we provide high-quality custom orthotics designed to address a wide range of foot and posture issues — built to last up to 10 years and handcrafted with exceptional Irish craftsmanship.
Why Choose Custom Orthotics Over Store-Bought Insoles
While generic insoles may offer temporary comfort, custom orthotics are medically designed to correct the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. Each pair from Don Kelly Physiotherapy is individually made based on your unique gait, posture, and specific condition using a detailed gait analysis and biomechanical assessment.
These orthotics don’t just cushion — they correct, support, and realign your body for lasting results.
Common Conditions Helped by Custom Orthotics
Bunions
Custom orthotics help redistribute pressure across your foot to relieve strain on the big toe joint, slowing the progression of bunions and reducing pain during walking or standing.
Callouses
When pressure isn’t evenly distributed, thick callouses can form. Orthotics balance weight across the foot, reducing friction points and helping prevent callous buildup.
Hammer Toes
By supporting the natural alignment of the foot and reducing muscle tension, orthotics lessen pressure on the smaller toes, helping ease discomfort and prevent worsening deformities.
Leg Length Discrepancy
If one leg is slightly shorter, it can affect your posture and cause hip, knee, or lower back pain. Our orthotics can correct leg length differences to promote proper alignment and even weight distribution.
Hip Rotation and Postural Imbalance
Poor foot mechanics can cause your hips to rotate or tilt, affecting your gait and balance. Custom orthotics correct the root cause by improving foot alignment, helping restore normal hip movement and posture.
Short Leg Syndrome
Orthotics can compensate for structural or functional short legs, improving stability and reducing compensatory strain on the spine, hips, and knees.
High Arch or Low Arch (Flat Feet)
Whether your arches are too high or too low, custom orthotics provide the right level of arch support, preventing pain, fatigue, and overuse injuries while improving shock absorption and balance.
Overpronation or “Rolling Ankles”
If your feet roll inward when walking (overpronation), orthotics stabilize the heel and ankle, improving alignment throughout the lower limb and reducing risk of knee and hip pain.
