What Is a Leg Length Discrepancy?

A leg length discrepancy (LLD) occurs when one leg is shorter than the other. Even small differences can disrupt posture, balance and gait.
This can lead to discomfort or pain in the feet, legs, hips and lower back.

Dr Insole provides custom-made heel raises to correct the imbalance and restore a natural walking pattern.

Our custom-made heel raises are lightweight and incredibly flexible. Handcrafted to give you the required thickness and to match your shoe size, Dr Insole’s heel lifts are specifically designed for therapeutic purposes. They effectively correct leg length discrepancies and bring relief from foot, leg, hip and back pain.

Heel raises, or heel lifts, are orthotic devices that are placed underneath the heel to raise it by a specifically required amount. Heel lifts are commonly used to add elevation when discrepancies in leg length occur. Dr Insole’s custom heel raises help correct gait abnormalities and restore natural, most efficient walking pattern. Our heel lifts reduce abnormal strain and pressure on your foot and leg, thus effectively decreasing foot, leg and back pain.

Dr Insole’s custom-made heel lifts are also extremely useful in treating Achilles tendonitis. This painful tendon inflammation usually results from the overuse of the tendon. Inflamed Achilles tendon often becomes swollen, painful and sensitive to the touch. The symptoms are usually worse in the morning and after prolonged periods of physical activity. Dr Insole’s custom heel raises reduce the strain and take the pressure off the tendon, allowing it to heal more quickly.

Our heel lifts are also an excellent support in treatment of the following conditions:

✔️ Ankle Sprains
✔️ Calf Strains
✔️ Insertional Achilles Tendinopathy
✔️ Achilles Enthesopathy
✔️ Anterior Ankle Impingement
✔️ Ankle Synovitis

Dr Insole’s heel raises can also be used in your everyday footwear to give you more comfort or to add extra height.

We now use high-grade urethane foam to make our heel raises, as it offers unique properties that make it ideal for heel support.
It is lightweight, flexible, durable, shock-absorbing and resistant to compression, ensuring long-lasting comfort and stability.
Each heel raise also features a durable EVA top cover, which provides a smooth, cushioned surface and enhances comfort inside your footwear.

Our bespoke heel raises are made to order after a thorough examination carried out by our orthotic specialist, ensuring you receive the precise fit, elevation and comfort you require.
