HAVE YOU BEEN TOLD YOU NEED ORTHOTICS/CUSTOM MADE INSOLES?
LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED CLINIC TO PRESCRIBE ORTHOTICS SUITED TO YOUR NEEDS?
How we’re different…
EXPERTISE: Our team are extremely experienced, having seen thousands of patients.
TRUSTED: We have a 5 star rating on trusted practitioner due to the service levels we offer and subsequent reviews patients leave. We are proud to be the go to foot and ankle clinic for Help for Heroes. We work regularly with ex-military personnel referred to us through them, from across the country, due to the results that we achieve.
ENHANCED SERVICE: We’re lucky enough to be in a modern clinic with the luxury of leading technology at our finger tips. Here at The Foot & Ankle Clinic, in the North East and North Yorkshire area, we have teamed up with the world leading bespoke orthotics provider FootWorks, in Australia, to bring you the best in custom made orthotics. Using 3D scanning software, which is the only one of its kind in the industry, along with their best in class 3D printing technology they have brought ‘a new benchmark in custom orthotic manufacturing’. They produce tailor made orthotic shells of a much higher quality than is possible with traditional techniques, which allows much greater levels of modification and customisation. This in turn allows for the highest levels of accuracy, to ensure the best outcome for you.
At your Orthotics Assessment Appointment the podiatrist will:
ASSESS THE CONDITION THAT HAS LEAD YOU TO USING ORTHOTICS AND DISCUSS YOUR OPTIONS.
We want you to be free from pain, not just have it masked, so the podiatrist will ensure that every time orthotics are prescribed, where appropriate, they also come with a tailor made treatment plan, to fit your lifestyle and condition. For example, what we would prescribe for a runner would be very different to someone who stands on their feet for 8 hours a day.
DISCUSS LONG TERM USE.
Eventually where possible, we want you to be free from having to use orthotics, as very often they are used to mask the problem, freeing you from immediate pain, but do not solve the underlying issue. The podiatrist will discuss your particular case with you at the initial consultation and options available.
CARRY OUT A 3D SCAN FOR APPROPRIATE ORTHOTICS
If custom made insoles are required a 3d scan will be carried out to ensure they have the highest level of precision.
here is what some of our patients say…
I saw Ben regarding several issues with my feet and lower legs. His attention to detail was excellent and I was really impressed with the service.

I’ve suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for many years. After numerous trips to the doctors, physio’s and private physio’s but to no avail, I seen an advert on Facebook for the Foot & Ankle Clinic and by this time I could hardly walk/shuffle to the toilet of a morning. I made an appointment straight away. In my first consultation i was diagnosed as definitely having Plantar Fasciitis and was given some exercises to do at home for a few weeks before my next appointment. The difference in the lack of pain by my second appointment was amazing I could get out of bed and walk straight away no more shuffling, I’m not going to lie there was still pain there but it was so much more bearable. I’m now doing weight bearing exercises using bottles of water in a bag and a Wii step to strengthen my Plantar and having Mobilisation on both feet and it’s just getting better and better each week the pain is hardly there anymore. I have a long way to go as I’ve suffered for years but it’s all going in the right direction. I can’t thank the Foot Clinic enough they’ve been so helpful from the receptionist having to change my appointments last minute due to Covid and to Nicola for being my saviour. I brag about you to all my friends and family and I would even recommend you to a stranger 😀

Having injured my foot during lockdown in the garden I had been in awful pain the whole time and could not get a appointment with my doctor, I was taken regular pain killers , a friend of mine mentioned The Foot Clinic to me and said they might able to help, I attended a consultation with Lucy and she gave me a exercise program to complete over a three week period, this was seven weeks ago, I have now been pain free for nearly five weeks, I have'nt taken a pain killer for six weeks.
I cant thank Lucy enough, she was very knowledgeable and put me at ease straight away.
I cannot recommend Lucy and her team enough.
Thank you

From the lovely, kind receptionist to the caring and very professional treatment from Nicola and Ben I cannot praise the Foot Clinic enough. After an accident with my foot earlier in the year I was left in a lot of pain and my walking balance was dreadful for months. After the Foot Clinic's help I am feeling 100% improved. Would highly recommend - definitely!

Had two appointments so far. Very happy with all the information I have been given. A lovely, relaxing, very professional atmosphere and lovely staff. Continuing my treatment. Certainly s lot better than a doctor's appointment lasting 10 minutes and not really resolving any issues , just putting a name to my problem.

Problem diagnosed and solved! I chose to come to the Foot Clinic because it seemed to offer a range of treatments. I needed to be diagnosed accurately first and they facilitated this and then I had a series of appointments to ease my problem. I know that I can come back for further advice and treatment in the future in the knowledge that I will be professionally and sympathetically dealt with.
