Introducing the latest 3D Foot Scanner for Custom Foot Orthotics

At ProPodiatry Clinic we don’t simply adopt a new technology unless we find there will be a real benefit to our patients. We are excited to announce we now utilize 3D Foot Scanning for custom orthotics.

Instead of traditional casting, this small camera operated device takes a highly precise 3D scan of your foot. An accurate foot cast/impression is imperative in ensuring the orthotics are the right fit for your individual needs. A 3D scan of your foot also mean the process is more efficient (no mess!) and the electronic storage for your scans allows for repeatability of results (should you require another pair of orthotics in the future!)

PTTD: Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction

The posterior tibial tendon is one of the main supporting structures of the foot. It holds the arch up, and supports our foot when walking. PTTD often called the adult acquired flatfoot, is a condition caused by degenerative changes in the tendon leading to pain and weakness. PTTD is progressive, which means early detection and treatment is key to ensure it does not progress to deformity of the foot.
