Providing orthopaedic footwear and associated orthotic appliances for over 20 years
About Us
The SBHI Orthopaedic Footwear Centre was established in the mid 1980s. Its initial purpose was to provide an efficient service to its members in acquiring suitable orthopaedic footwear and appliances. It subsequently expanded its services to include all aspects of orthopaedic footwear, including specialist shoes designed for diabetics.
Services
The main services provided at the Centre are:
- All aspects of orthopaedic footwear and orthotic devices
- An extensive range of fashionable orthopaedic shoes for children
- Orthotic supports for sports injuries
- A full repair service
The footwear can be made to measure, or quality off-the-shelf footwear can be tailored to meet specific requirements. The centre offers a wide variety of styles to suit every occasion and for all ages. All work is carried out by fully qualified Orthopaedic Technicians.
Comfort and Style
The SBHI Orthopaedic Footwear Centre supplies a range of footwear and appliances that have all the required orthopaedic features for a perfect fit; the footwear also retains a large element of style which is so important to all our clients.
Entitlements
People who are covered under the Medical Card/Long Term Illness Scheme may be entitled to services free of charge on condition that they meet the requirements of the HSE. The Centre offers advice on these entitlements, in a sympathetic, efficient and friendly manner.
