Custom orthotics are specialized shoe inserts designed to support and improve the function of your feet Unlike over-the-counter insoles, custom orthotics are specifically tailored to the unique shape and needs of your feet, providing precise support and correction for various foot-related issues.

Custom orthotics can benefit anyone experiencing foot, leg, or back pain related to foot mechanics. They are especially helpful for individuals with conditions such as plantar fasciitis, flat feet, high arches, bunions, heel spurs, arthritis, and those who spend a lot of time on their feet or engage in sports activities.

The process of making custom orthotics involves several steps:

1. Initial Consultation: A thorough examination of your feet and gait is conducted.

2. Biomechanical Analysis: The biomechanics of your feet, knees, and hips are analyzed to identify imbalances and pressure points.

3. Foot Scan: Detailed 3D scans of your feet are taken to create an accurate reproduction.

4. Custom Fabrication: The orthotics are crafted by certified orthotists using high-quality materials based on the gathered data.

5. Adjustments and Follow-Up: After delivery, follow-up sessions are scheduled to ensure proper fit and comfort.

The process usually takes between 2 to 3 weeks from the initial consultation to the delivery of the orthotics. This includes the time needed for examination, biomechanical analysis, manufacturing, and any necessary adjustments.

In many cases, custom orthotics are covered by health insurance plans. Check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage and what documentation is required for reimbursement. Some compagnies might require a medical prescription.

The lifespan of custom orthotics varies depending on factors like the materials used, the frequency of use, and the type of activities they are used for. On average, they can last between 1 to 5 years. Regular check-ups are recommended to ensure they are still providing the necessary support.

Yes, custom orthotics can usually be transferred between different pairs of shoes. However, it's important to ensure that the shoes provide adequate support and are compatible with the orthotics. Some orthotics are designed for specific types of footwear, such as athletic shoes or dress shoes.

Custom orthotics are designed to improve the alignment and function of your feet, which can positively impact your gait. You might notice changes in the way you walk as your body adjusts to the corrected foot mechanics, leading to reduced pain and improved overall posture.

To care for your custom orthotics:

• Remove them from your shoes regularly to air them out.
• Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoiding submersion in water.
• Inspect them periodically for signs of wear and tear, and schedule follow-up appointments to ensure they are still effective.

Yes, children can benefit from custom orthotics, especially if they have conditions like flat feet, intoeing, or other gait abnormalities. Since children's feet grow rapidly, their orthotics may need to be replaced more frequently to accommodate growth. We do have a special program for kids.
