What You Can Expect

When considering orthotics, it's important to be aware of the process and potential costs involved.


While we strive to provide affordable pricing, crafting custom orthotics requires specialized materials and detailed analysis, which may result in a significant cost.


However, most extended health insurance plans offer coverage for orthotics or a portion of their cost. It's essential to confirm your coverage with your insurance provider beforehand.


To be eligible for coverage, most plans require a prescription from a physician. It is advisable to consult with your doctor before booking an appointment to ensure proper reimbursement.


Once you're ready to proceed with orthotics, we will schedule an initial appointment.


This session, lasting approximately 45 minutes, will involve a thorough assessment of your gait, posture, weight distribution, and other physical attributes. Gathering this essential data ensures that we have all the necessary information to fabricate personalized insoles tailored to your unique needs.

  • Initial Assessment

    Once your initial assessment is complete, we will gather the necessary information to craft your custom orthotics. This involves examining your feet, discussing your specific needs, and taking precise measurements.

  • Custom Orthotic Creation

    Using the information gathered during the assessment, our experts will begin crafting your custom orthotics. This meticulous process ensures that the orthotics are tailored to your unique foot structure and needs. The production time typically takes around one to two weeks.

  • Pick-up and Follow-up Appointments

    During your pick-up appointment, which usually lasts around 15 minutes, you will receive your custom orthotics. Our team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to correctly break in your orthotics. This gradual process, spanning about two weeks, allows your feet to adjust gradually and minimize any initial discomfort.

  • Adjustment and Comfort

    Throughout the break-in period, our team will be available to address any questions or concerns you may have. We will ensure that your orthotics provide the necessary support and comfort. It's important to follow the instructions provided and wear your orthotics as much as possible to experience the full benefits.

  • Lifespan and Replacement

    The lifespan of each pair of orthotics varies depending on factors such as wear, weight, and usage. Typically, orthotics last between one to four years. When it's time for a replacement, we recommend booking an appointment with us to have new orthotics made. This ensures that your orthotics continue to meet your current needs, providing ongoing comfort and satisfaction.

FAQs

  • Can orthotics be transferred to different shoes?

    In many cases, orthotics can be transferred between different pairs of shoes, as long as the shoes have a removable insole or sufficient space to accommodate the orthotics. However, it's essential to ensure a proper fit and alignment within each shoe. It's recommended to consult with your orthotics provider or pedorthist to determine the compatibility of your orthotics with different footwear options.

  • What conditions can be treated with orthotics?

    Orthotics can be used to address a wide range of conditions. Some of the common conditions that can be effectively treated with orthotics include: 

    • Arthritis
    • Bunions
    • Plantar Fasciitis
    • Shin Splints
    • Achilles' Pain
    • Knee Pain
    • IT Band Pain
    • Low Back Pain
    • Ankle Pain (including recurring sprains) 

    By providing customized support and alignment, orthotics can alleviate symptoms, reduce pain, and improve overall foot and lower limb function. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional, such as a podiatrist or orthopedic specialist, who can evaluate your specific condition and determine if orthotics are suitable for you.

  • What are custom orthotics?

    Custom orthotics are lightweight, foam-based inserts that are specifically designed to fit the shape and needs of your feet. These inserts are placed inside your shoes to provide proper weight distribution and offer postural support during various activities such as walking, standing, or running. By customizing the orthotics to your foot's unique shape and requirements, they can significantly alleviate lower limb pain. Custom orthotics help optimize foot alignment, reduce strain on muscles and joints, and improve overall biomechanics. They can be particularly beneficial for conditions such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, Achilles' pain, and various other lower limb discomforts. Seek professional advice from a podiatrist or orthopedic specialist to determine if custom orthotics are suitable for your specific needs.
