Frequently Asked Questions
Custom orthotics are specialized inserts designed precisely for your feet based on a detailed assessment of your foot structure, gait pattern, and specific needs. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are medical devices tailored to address your unique biomechanical issues, providing targeted support and correction to improve alignment throughout your entire body.
You might benefit from custom orthotics if you experience persistent foot pain, heel pain, arch discomfort, recurring ankle sprains, knee or hip pain, lower back pain related to standing or walking, or have noticeable abnormalities in your foot structure or walking pattern. A comprehensive evaluation with our providers can determine if orthotics would be helpful for your specific situation.
The process begins with a thorough assessment of your feet, gait, and medical history. We then take precise measurements and impressions of your feet using advanced scanning technology or casting materials. These measurements are used to fabricate your orthotics according to your provider's prescription. Once ready, you'll have a fitting appointment to ensure proper fit and function, followed by follow-up visits to monitor your progress.
With proper care, custom orthotics typically last 3-5 years, though this varies based on your activity level, weight, and the materials used. Regular wear and tear will eventually affect their supportive properties. We recommend annual check-ups to assess your orthotics' condition and make adjustments if needed. Children may need replacements more frequently due to foot growth.
Many insurance plans provide some coverage for custom orthotics when they're deemed medically necessary. Coverage varies widely between policies, often with specific requirements and limitations. Our office staff can help check your benefits before treatment and provide necessary documentation. We also offer payment options for patients with limited or no orthotic coverage.
