Best Custom Orthotics

Break the Pain Cycle

So, you have seen the GP, and the Physiotherapist, perhaps even a Chiropractor, Osteopath or Acupuncturist with no long term relief. Insanity is often described as doing the same thing repeatedly, expecting a different result – so try something different. Many common problems such as ball of foot pain, arch pain, heel pain, shin pain, knee pain, hip pain, low back pain, and even scoliosis, can be helped or even resolved by addressing the underlying biomechanical faults that are the true CAUSE of these problems.

Custom orthotics from The Gait Doctor helped me to finish the Auckland Marathon
“As recently as August I could not jog 2km due to a calf muscle strain caused by faults in my foot bones and joints. This also caused a functional leg length issue (right being abnormally longer than the left).
Dr. Cherye Roche, a sports Chiropractic doctor at The Gait Doctor, diagnosed the relationship between the foot faults and my recurring calf muscle strain, as well as the leg length issue. So it was both the faulty foot issue and the resulting pelvic position issue that needed to addressed through the use of custom orthotics and a bit of follow up treatment with my osteopath at Titirangi Osteopaths.
The custom orthotics worked great. I recommend Dr. Cherye Roche, The Gait Doctor, for those who have similar issues.”

After over a year and a half of dealing with intense foot pain from plantar fasciitis and a heel spur, I had almost given up hope. I had tried cortisone injections and shockwave therapy, but nothing brought lasting relief.

Then I found Dr. Cherye and her amazing team. Her depth of knowledge and genuine care stood out from the very first visit. She took the time to explain where my problems were coming from and recommended custom-made orthotics. Now, after just 8 weeks of wearing them, along with a recommended chiropractor and excercise,
I’m walking pain-free. I can get out of bed in the morning without that familiar stabbing pain—and I can even run again!

I truly can’t thank Dr. Cherye and her team enough. You gave me my quality of life back.

Ten weeks into using my orthotics, and I’m honestly so impressed. The pain I was experiencing is almost completely gone — such a relief! They’ve become an essential part of my daily life.
I also can’t recommend Gait Doctor enough — their customer service and follow-up care have been absolutely outstanding. Supportive, professional, and truly attentive every step of the way.
Excellent, professional assessment and consultation. Fitted orthotics were very comfortable and beneficial.

I’ve had remarkable success from my orthotics via the Gait Dr clinic. Feet are fairly pain free now & it was not an effort at all to incorporate the orthotics into my life. I love wearing them & how walking flows easily now. Fantastic service & follow up. Highly recommend.

This process has been extensive and has not just addressed immediate foot pain, but also addressed long term knee, back and neck issues. It's painful at times during the treatment, but the results of feeling healthier in my body, more flexible and able to move faster than I have in a long time are worth it. Stay the course and you will feel the results. Thanks so much!

On a walk one morning Cherye spotted some issues with the way I walk, explained the biomechanics to me and invited me to an assessment for orthotics. I'm so glad she did. Since transitioning to orthotics a number of niggling pains I've been ignoring have resolved, my knees feel more stable and I've noticed I walk more normally. Her referral to Katie at Ignite Chiropractic also led to other issues being resolved, and I'm super grateful for that. I feel years younger and am a better, more active parent as a result. Cheryl and her team are knowledgeable, great communicators and made me feel at ease. It's not a cheap option, but for me the quality of care and results were more than worth it. Highly recommend the Gait Doctor team - especially for preventative care.

Gait Scan and Biomechanical Evaluation

Knee pain and stiffness

Do you need a GaitScan - and What is GaitScan ?

Your health history, along with the clinical / biomechanical examination will determine if you are a candidate for including GaitScan in the assessment process. If you are a candidate for GaitScan, we can do this analysis at your first visit. This will give us images, graphs, and data that will indicate the extent of the dysfunction in your feet. Then, if you are a candidate for custom, functional foot orthotics, the data from this analysis will be used to create custom foot orthotics that are prescribed your individual needs, and the individual support for each foot.

All that is required is that you phone our office, book in and then complete the intake paperwork at least 24 hours in advance. Then turn up for your 90 minute consultation.   Yes, 90 minutes! It is a thorough and educational experience that will provide you with a full colour GaitScan Report and an in-depth Clinical Report written by one of our Doctors, about the way forward with your musculoskeletal health concerns.
