Ankle pain may be felt whilst standing, walking or with increased activity levels. The pain can be mild, moderate or severe and may be experienced for short or long term, on and off or constant. It may due to one or more of the following:
- an ankle sprain,
- arthritis,
- muscle weakness,
- tendonitis,
- ligament laxity or instability,
- nerve compression (Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome- a nerve (posterior tibial nerve) can be compressed between bones on the inside of the ankle in an area known as the tarsal tunnel.
If you have flat feet, or your ankles feel unstable, a gait analysis and assessment can confirm as to whether custom foot orthotics may be prescribed to restore a neutral foot/ankle position to reduce nerve compression and maintain sound lower limb biomechanics.
ANKLE BRACES
For those that play regular basketball, netball, tennis, squash, badmington and other sports, a stabilising ankle brace will provide excellent stability and support to the ankle. We can supply and fit supportive and non-bulky ankle braces.

- Metatarsalgia: – Needing cushioning under the ball of your foot?
- Mortons Neuroma: – Burning? Tingling? Numbness? Feels like you’re walking on a pebble or wrinkled up sock?
- Intermetatarsal Bursitis: Swollen bump under the ball of your foot?
Metatarsalgia is a term often used to describe pain in the ball of the foot (or forefoot). It involves the “knuckles of the foot” which are referred to as the metatarsal heads. The pain may involve one or two metatarsals, or may spread across all 5. This can be due to inflammation or loss of fatty (fibrous) padding under the metatarsal heads. Foot orthotics are designed to redistribute your weight more evenly and provide more cushioning to the painful area.
You may experience a burning sensation accompanied with tingling and/or numbness in the toes. These symptoms may indicate a condition known as Mortons Neuroma. It might feel like you are walking on pebbles or a wrinkled up sock. A Mortons neuroma is an inflammation of a nerve that passes between the 3rd and 4th metatarsals as a result of compressive forces. These forces are usually felt in footwear that is too narrow or tight or high heeled footwear. Foot orthotics with a metatarsal dome are prescribed to restore the metatarsal arch. This widens the space between the 3rd /4th metatarsals and minimises the compressive forces in the affected area.
Flat feet, or fallen arches, may either cause or exacerbate ball of foot pain. Foot orthotics are designed to restore your fallen arches, correct lower limb biomechanics, and reduce pain.
