AJF Laboratories is pleased to introduce you to our unique, well established orthotic laboratory and gait analysis clinic.
Andrew Fisher is our senior partner and has been the driving force behind AJF Laboratories since its inception in 1986.He is fully committed and enthusiastic in the field of gait analysis and biomechanics and has worked in a range of settings including Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre and RAF Cosford Rehabilitation unit. Currently he is working as part of the Foot and Ankle Team at Spire Parkway Hospital Solihull.
Andrew constantly reviews clinical research into the efficiency of foot orthoses and has developed a range that has shown to resolve and/or improve many of the clinical lower limb conditions listed below.
As well as providing a first rate service to other practitioners, his clinical knowledge comes to the forefront in the management of patients with a range of lower limb conditions, however complex.
At our clinic we can treat and resolve a range of conditions which will give you relief from pain and improve your quality of life.
The first step is to give us a call – in some instances just some simple free advice over the phone is all that is required.
If further help is needed we may suggest semi-customised orthoses (Insoles) and which can resolve your symptoms without further intervention.
Finally, in more complex cases, a visit to Alveley may be suggested where a full assessment, casting for prescription orthoses if appropriate and referral to other specialists eg for an ultrasound scan, injection therapy, may be arranged.
The cost of the initial assessment and gait analysis will be advised when the appointment is made and the cost of orthoses, if needed, will be advised at this appointment. The assessment includes taking a full history, looking at your gait, reviewing footwear and discussing other possible treatment modalities.
Prefer to see us in a day? A full assessment and fitting of casted orthoses can be completed in a day at no additional cost.
Several conditions in the lower limb can be related to biomechanical dysfunction (i.e. poor posture of the foot and leg) and can be treated effectively through the use of orthoses (prescription insoles). By treating the causes of these conditions symptoms will resolve quicker, will be less likely to re-occur and you will be able to return to normal activities including sports.
