What is it?
  Diabetic foot

People with diabetes are at increased risk of serious foot problems. Decreased blood circulation in the lower part of the legs and the feet causes injuries to heal poorly. Poor circulation can also lead to swelling and dryness of the foot. Preventing foot complications is more critical for the diabetic patient because poor circulation impairs the healing process and can lead to ulcers, infection, and other serious foot conditions.

Studies show that the prevalence of these problems increases with age. By starting preventive measures early, it is possible to avoid later foot complications and enable you to maintain an independent, active lifestyle. This is why our therapeutic shoes, inserts, off loading footwear are an excellent first step toward better foot health.

Acute ischaemia, ulcers and wound breakdown.
Neuropathy leading to pain and ulceration over stiff deformities
Immune suppression with reduced resistance to infection.

Our shoes possess generous space to remove pressure on stiff deformities, and insoles to reduce pressure on the metatarsal heads. Both hard and soft insoles can improve forefoot pain, and can prevent complications. Metatarsal bar orthotics and full molded total contact insoles are of great comfort to patients with severe deformities or peripheral neuropathy.

Athlete’s foot.

What is it?

Athlete’s foot is a fungal infection. It can lead to intense itching, cracked, blistered or peeling areas of skin, redness and scaling. It can occur on moist, waterlogged skin especially between the fourth and fifth toes, or on dry, flaky skin around the heels or elsewhere on the foot.

Change your footwear on a regular basis. There’s no point sorting your feet out if you constantly re-infect them by putting them into damp, fungally infected shoes.

Arch support, insoles, orthostatic supports.

What is it?

Heel Pain

When walking, your heels repeatedly hit the ground with considerable force. They have to be able to absorb the impact and provide a firm support for the weight of the body. When pain develops in the heel, it can be very disabling, making every step a problem, affecting your posture.

Our special insoles (orthoses) help the feet to function more effectively, thereby reducing strain on the ligaments and making any recurrence less likely.
