ABOUT
Welcome to the Orthotics Clinic Limerick, a specialist orthotics and biomechanics clinic providing clinically led assessment and personalised orthotic care for people with foot and lower-limb pain. The clinic specialises in custom orthotics, detailed gait analysis, and lower-limb biomechanics, supporting adults and children of all activity levels to return to efficient pain free movement.
Whether you are managing persistent foot, ankle, knee, or lower-limb pain, recovering from injury, or seeking clarity around ongoing symptoms, care is tailored to your individual presentation. Every assessment is thorough, evidence-based, and focused on identifying the underlying biomechanical causes of pain rather than simply treating symptoms.
Clinically Led, Individualised Care
Orthotics Clinic Limerick is led by Dr Declan Sweeney PhD, Clinical Specialist in Biomechanics and Orthotics, with over 20 years’ experience in the assessment and management of complex musculoskeletal foot and lower-limb conditions. All orthotic solutions are custom designed following detailed clinical assessment and gait analysis, ensuring they are never rushed or one-size-fits-all.

What We Treat
We help patients with a wide variety of foot & lower limb problems and injuries
Paediatric Gait Assessment & Walking Development
Many children referred for assessment already have a neurological diagnosis, such as cerebral palsy. Biomechanical gait assessment focuses on analysing walking patterns and lower-limb alignment to determine whether orthotic devices, such as ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) or cusom moulded foot orthotics, may help support more efficient and stable walking.
