Our design process

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.

Initial Consultation

During your first visit, we conduct a thorough examination of your feet and gait. We also discuss your needs and medical history.

Biomechanical Analysis

We assess the biomechanics of your feet, knees, and hips to identify imbalances, compensation patterns, and pressure points. A gait evaluation is included.

Foot Scan

We scan your feet using our phone and AI technology to create an accurate 3D model. This gives us a precise digital impression tailored to your anatomy. The technology we use is Podform 3D.

Custom Fabrication

Your orthotics are custom-made by certified orthotists using high-quality materials, based on the measurements and specifications collected by your chiropractor during the assessment and scan.

Tune-ups and Follow-up

Once your orthotics arrive, we schedule a follow-up to confirm fit, answer questions, and make any necessary adjustments to optimize comfort and results. (First adjustment included at no additional cost.)
