Why TFAAC Orthotics are Superior

Poorly aligned feet can cause pain not only in the feet but the ankles, hips and back. Podiatrists are health professionals skilled and trained to detect, demonstrate and correct poor foot and walking posture that leads to these problems.

Orthotic devices placed inside your shoes can help re-direct your feet into a more correct position. This will relieve painful symptoms and prevent future side-effects of standing, walking and running with poorly aligned feet and ankles. Although current footwear may accommodate the orthotics, a range of specialist footwear can also be found at The Foot and Ankle Clinic. Orthotic therapy footwear is designed to combine function, support and comfort.
