The Patient’s Challenge
A 45-year-old patient visited a podiatry clinic with severe heel pain, later diagnosed as chronic plantar fasciitis. Standard interventions, including over-the-counter orthotics and physiotherapy, provided minimal relief. The clinic opted for bespoke orthotics from Enertor Medical to address the patient’s condition.
The Bespoke Solution
Using advanced 3D scanning technology, the patient’s feet were thoroughly assessed, revealing abnormal pronation that exacerbated stress on the plantar fascia. Enertor Medical manufactured bespoke orthotics designed to:
- Correct the patient’s biomechanics by realigning the foot structure
- Reduce pressure on the plantar fascia
- Improve weight distribution for enhanced comfort
Results
Within weeks of using the bespoke orthotics, the patient reported significant pain reduction and improved mobility. By three months, they resumed their daily walking routine without discomfort. This success highlights how bespoke orthotics can transform treatment outcomes for clinics managing complex cases.
