Orthotics

Book an Assessment

Orthotics refers to the medical speciality of using artificial devices in order to support, align, prevent, or correct the function of moving parts of the body. These can often be called

• Insoles or Foot Orthoses,
• Splints,
• Braces,
• Calipers.

Our clinicians have a range of stock and bespoke orthotics options we have the most current devices available. We have strong links with leading suppliers and our own factory in Glasgow, which allows us to offer custom-made insoles, footwear and splints.

In addition to traditional Orthotic production, we use cutting-edge production methods, such as 3D printing, to manufacture insoles. We have the largest 3d printing Orthotic Lab in Scotland, allowing us to produce truly custom and innovative insoles. 

Based at our Glasgow, clinic, where we offer the following treatments:

• Full Orthotic assessments
• Foot Drop Assessment    
  
• Biomechanical assessments
• Sport Specific Orthoses 
• RS Scan Pressure Sensor Gait Analysis
• Footwear assessments
• Neurological gait assessments
• Footwear Adaptions, including shoe raises

Our orthotic team regularly attend conferences and training events to ensure patients receive the most modern and suitable care. All our clinicians are registered with HCPC and are certified with Disclosure Scotland.

We are experts in the use of Carbon fibre AFOs and KAFOs, Silicon AFOs, 3d Printed AFOs as well as stance control devices such as the Emag and FreeWalk from OttoBock.

Onsite, we have the full complement of Turbomed Xtern trial kits, including the paediatric version, so you can test and feel the benefits this unique device provides.

To aid in selecting the correct orthosis, we have a large number of supports in stock and available to try, such as most Sprystep AFOs from Thuanse and ankle and spinal supports. 

At the Buchanan Clinic, we were the first clinic to use the Coyote Dynamic Strut to the great benefit of our clients. All are designed and made onsite in Glasgow. 

We have a range of orthotic products available, and you can view these as examples of what we may recommend. Please note that it is essential to see a qualified Orthotist for an assessment before buying an Orthotic product for the first time. If you think Orthotics may help improve your condition, book an assessment online or contact us for more information.
