Plantar fasciitis is caused by excessive tensile load on the plantar fascia, typically driven by overpronation or poor foot mechanics. Custom insoles with a medial heel wedge slow the rate of pronation, reducing strain on the fascia with every step. An effective private plantar fasciitis treatment without the NHS wait.

Heel spurs and chronic heel pain result from repeated impact and soft tissue inflammation at the calcaneus, often worsened by inadequate shock absorption. Custom insoles with a deep heel cup and targeted offloading cutout beneath the spur can relieve direct pressure at the painful site whilst improving overall heel alignment. Private heel pain treatment using prescription insoles tailored to your foot.

Metatarsalgia causes pain and inflammation across the ball of the foot due to excessive or uneven pressure on the metatarsal heads. Custom insoles with a metatarsal bar positioned just proximal to the metatarsal heads redistribute forefoot pressure evenly, directly offloading the inflamed area. A precise metatarsalgia treatment guided by Footscan pressure analysis rather than guesswork.

Morton's neuroma develops when excessive forefoot pressure compresses the interdigital nerve, causing pain and numbness between the toes. Custom insoles with a metatarsal dome positioned just behind the affected metatarsal heads splay the forefoot and offload the nerve directly. A clinically targeted treatment for Morton's neuroma pain.

Achilles tendonitis is commonly driven by tightness in the calf muscles, which increases the load on the tendon during walking and running. Our orthotist assesses calf flexibility as part of a full biomechanical assessment and can advise on a targeted stretching programme alongside a custom insole with a heel raise to reduce the demand on the tendon whilst flexibility improves. A private Achilles tendonitis treatment addressing the root cause without the NHS wait.

Flat feet cause the arch to collapse inward, overloading the ankle, knee, and hip through poor lower limb alignment. Custom insoles with a medial arch fill and rearfoot posting restore correct alignment and slow the rate of pronation throughout the gait cycle. An effective flat feet treatment available privately in Leeds.

Knee pain is frequently caused by poor lower limb alignment — excessive pronation increases valgus stress on the knee joint with every step. Custom insoles with corrective rearfoot posting improve alignment from the ground up, reducing abnormal joint load without treating the knee in isolation. Custom insoles for knee pain address the biomechanical cause rather than the symptom.

High arches reduce the foot's natural shock absorption, concentrating pressure on the heel and ball of the foot during walking and running. Custom insoles with a full-length cushioning layer improve load distribution across the entire foot and reduce the supination moment. A bespoke insole solution for high arch pain and supination treatment.

Shin splints result from repetitive stress on the tibial periosteum, commonly driven by overpronation or a sudden increase in training load. Custom insoles with a medial forefoot and rearfoot wedge control excessive pronation and reduce the rotational forces transmitted up the shin with each footfall. Effective shin splints treatment through biomechanical correction rather than rest alone.

Lower back pain has many possible causes, and identifying the right one is essential before prescribing any treatment. Our orthotist performs a thorough biomechanical assessment to establish whether your pain is linked to poor lower limb alignment, a leg length discrepancy, or abnormal loading patterns through the pelvis and spine. Where a mechanical cause is identified, custom insoles with corrective posting or a calibrated heel raise can reduce spinal stress significantly — treating the cause rather than managing the symptom.

Leg length discrepancy is often subtle and goes undiagnosed, yet even a small difference can cause chronic pain in the foot, knee, hip, or lower back over time. An accurate assessment by our orthotist is essential — measuring both true and functional leg length to establish whether an insole heel raise is appropriate and, critically, how much correction is needed. Getting this right requires clinical judgement, not guesswork, and our orthotist has the experience to prescribe precisely.

Foot pain takes many forms, and not every condition fits neatly into a list. Our orthotist has extensive experience treating a wide range of lower limb conditions including sesamoiditis, tarsal tunnel syndrome, sinus tarsi syndrome, tibialis posterior tendon dysfunction, hallux rigidus, and ankle arthritis. If you're living with chronic foot pain, heel pain, ankle pain, or arch pain and haven't found a solution, a full biomechanical assessment is often the missing piece. We see patients from across Leeds and the surrounding area — no GP referral needed, and no NHS waiting list.
