Conditions we Treat
At Woods Orthotics, we support people of all ages with a wide range of mobility, gait and musculoskeletal conditions. Whether you’re living with long‑term neurological challenges or dealing with day‑to‑day pain, our goal is simple: to help you move with greater comfort, confidence and independence.
We combine clinical expertise with modern technology: including digital foot pressure analysis, 3D scanning, CNC milling and in‑house orthotic manufacturing, to create solutions that are truly tailored to you.

Neurological Conditions
​
We work closely with children and adults whose mobility is affected by neurological conditions. Orthotic support can improve stability, alignment, and functional movement.
​
-
Cerebral palsy - improving gait efficiency, reducing fatigue and supporting joint alignment
-
Stroke (CVA) - enhancing balance, foot clearance and walking confidence
-
Multiple sclerosis (MS) - managing foot drop, instability and fluctuating muscle tone
-
Peripheral neuropathy - improving safety and reducing pressure‑related discomfort
-
Brain or spinal cord injury - supporting rehabilitation and functional recovery
-
Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT)
​
Musculoskeletal Pain & Overuse Injuries
​
Many people come to us with persistent pain that affects daily life, work or sport. Orthotics can reduce strain, improve biomechanics and support healing.
​
-
Plantar fasciitis
-
Heel pain and Achilles tendinopathy
-
Flat feet (pes planus) and high arches (pes cavus)
-
Knee pain, including patellofemoral pain and osteoarthritis
-
Hip and lower‑back pain linked to gait or foot posture
-
Shin splints and recurrent lower‑limb injuries
-
Leg length discrepancies
​
Foot Deformities & Difficulty Finding Comfortable Shoes
​
Many people struggle to find shoes on the high street that fit comfortably or safely. This can be due to structural foot differences, long‑term conditions or changes that develop over time.
We regularly support people with:
​

Bunions (hallux valgus)
-
Hammer toes and claw toes
-
Wide or deep feet
-
Collapsed arches or very high arches

Custom‑made footwear designed around your exact foot shape
-
Specialist insoles to improve comfort and reduce pressure
-
Footwear modifications such as stretching, rocker soles or added depth
-
Advice on suitable brands and styles for your foot type​
