Custom Orthotics Dublin
At CureSpa, we provide bespoke podiatry services in Dublin with a special focus on custom orthotics designed to alleviate pain, improve posture, and enhance mobility. Our clinic combines clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver long-term relief and support for a wide range of foot, ankle, and lower limb conditions.
Expert Podiatry Care in Dublin
Our podiatrists offer comprehensive consultations and assessments to determine the root cause of your symptoms. From minor biomechanical misalignments to complex musculoskeletal conditions, we use in-depth diagnostics to prescribe tailored treatment plans that include custom-made orthotic insoles to suit your individual needs.
We treat patients of all ages, including children, adults, athletes, and those with chronic medical conditions. Every patient receives a detailed biomechanical assessment, gait analysis, and footwear evaluation to ensure the orthotics support their lifestyle, work demands, or athletic activity.
What Are Custom Orthotics?
Custom orthotics are medical devices crafted to fit the exact contours of your feet. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, which are generic and often provide only temporary relief, custom orthotics are precision-engineered to correct posture, redistribute pressure, and optimise the biomechanics of your lower limbs.
Our orthotics are fabricated using 3D scanning technology and medical-grade materials. Whether you're suffering from flat feet, heel pain, or knee discomfort, our orthotics are created to address the structural cause of the problem, offering lasting comfort and improved functionality.
Conditions Treated with Custom Orthotics
Plantar Fasciitis:
Chronic heel pain caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia.
Flat Feet (Pes Planus):
A condition where the arches of the feet collapse, leading to overpronation and instability.
Metatarsalgia:
Pain in the ball of the foot due to excessive pressure or misalignment.
Morton’s Neuroma:
Nerve compression often caused by tight footwear or abnormal foot mechanics.
Achilles Tendinopathy:
Repetitive strain on the Achilles tendon, often linked with improper foot posture.
Shin Splints:
Pain along the shinbone caused by overuse or incorrect foot strike.
Knee, Hip and Lower Back Pain:
Often the result of poor lower limb alignment originating from the feet.
Bunions and Hammertoes:
Joint deformities worsened by pressure from misaligned foot mechanics.
Diabetic Foot Complications:
Including ulcers and neuropathy, which can be alleviated with pressure-relieving orthotics.
How Custom Orthotics Are Made at CureSpa
How Custom Orthotics Are Made at Cure Spa
Initial Consultation
A detailed patient history is taken, including lifestyle, symptoms, and footwear habits.
Gait Analysis
We use high-resolution video and pressure plate technology to analyse your walking and running patterns. This allows us to identify abnormalities in motion and weight distribution.
Biomechanical Assessment
Joint range of motion, muscle strength, limb length, and foot alignment are carefully evaluated.
3D Foot Scanning
Our team uses advanced 3D scanners to capture an accurate model of each foot. This ensures your orthotics are designed with pinpoint precision.
Orthotic Design and Manufacture
We collaborate with orthotic labs to design inserts based on your unique foot structure and clinical findings. Materials range from soft EVA foam to rigid polypropylene, depending on your condition and footwear requirements.
Fitting and Review
Your orthotics are fitted and fine-tuned for comfort and effectiveness. We monitor your progress and offer follow-up adjustments to ensure optimal results.

Other Uses for Custom Orthotics
Orthotics for Athletes and Runners
Athletes often place immense strain on their lower limbs. We provide sports orthotics in Dublin that reduce injury risk and improve performance. Common sports-related issues we treat include runner’s knee, shin splints, and stress fractures. Our sports orthotics offer dynamic support during training and competition, allowing athletes to maintain biomechanical efficiency and avoid downtime.
Children’s Orthotics and Paediatric Podiatry
We offer gentle and proactive care for younger patients. Children can experience biomechanical problems during growth, including sever’s disease, toe walking, and in-toeing. With early intervention using custom orthotics, we aim to guide foot development and prevent more serious issues later in life.
Orthotics for Workplace Comfort
Many professions involve standing or walking for long hours, such as nursing, retail, and hospitality. Over time, this can lead to chronic pain or postural strain. We provide work-friendly orthotics tailored to accommodate specific shoes, including safety boots, dress shoes, and uniform footwear.
