To find out more about the custom orthotics the team at Get Moving Physio have to offer, please get in touch with our team in Leigh now! We’re on hand to help, and we pride ourselves on our high level of patient care that goes into the creation of each one of our prosthetic devices.
Within the orthotics industry, 3D-printed orthotics are slowly becoming a more and more popular option for patients in need of orthotic devices. By 3D printing them in-house, we effectively contribute towards reducing costs for these handy devices, which can make all the difference in pain management and comfort.
3D printing technology stands at the forefront of orthotic customisation. Utilising advanced scanning techniques, it captures the unique contours of each foot, ensuring an orthotic design that aligns perfectly with individual anatomical needs. This precision markedly reduces discomfort and enhances the effectiveness of the orthotics.
The advent of 3D printing in the field of orthotics has brought with it significant advancements in both the materials used and the efficiency of production. These developments are pivotal in enhancing patient care and the effectiveness of orthotic devices.
The range of materials available for 3D printing in orthotic fabrication is specially chosen for their unique properties of durability and flexibility, which are essential for orthotic devices. These materials are engineered to withstand daily wear and tear, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.
Importantly, they provide the necessary support to the foot, ankle, and lower limb without compromising comfort. This balance between strength and comfort is critical in orthotic design, as it directly impacts the wearer’s experience and the effectiveness of the orthotic in relieving pain or correcting foot abnormalities.
Another significant advantage of utilising 3D printing technology in orthotic production is the speed and efficiency with which custom orthotics can be manufactured. Unlike traditional methods that are often time-consuming and labour-intensive, 3D printing streamlines the production process. This rapid manufacturing not only benefits patients by significantly reducing the waiting period for their custom orthotics but also enables practitioners to manage their patient load more effectively. By cutting down production times, healthcare providers can offer timely interventions, ensuring that patients receive the necessary orthotic support when they need it most.
Together, the improved material quality and the accelerated production process of 3D printed orthotics represent a major leap forward in orthotic care. These advancements contribute to better patient outcomes, higher satisfaction, and a more efficient healthcare system, underscoring the transformative impact of 3D printing technology in the field of orthotics.
Revolutionising the way a range of foot-related conditions can be treated, orthotics that have been 3D printed offer unparalleled customisation that offers relief and support to the specific needs to many different types of foot ailments, which includes:
Characterised by a sharp heel pain, plantar fasciitis can be appropriately supported by orthotics to provide arch support to reduce overall strain.
If you have flat feet – or overpronation where the foot rolls in excessively, custom orthotics can provide relief by evenly distributing pressure across the foot.
Foot care is crucial for those with diabetes to prevent complications like ulcers. 3D-printed orthotics are tailored to the specific contours of a diabetic foot to reduce pressure and enhance overall protection.
Joint pain is a major struggle for those suffering with arthritis, particularly in the feet and ankles. Custom printed orthotics can help to reduce stress by providing a cushioning effect that eases pain and improves overall mobility.
If you have high arches in your feet, additional support may be required to distribute pressure away from the heel and forefoot. Custom orthotics are uniquely tailored to provide this necessary support.
