Custom orthotics are specialized devices designed to improve alignment, provide support, and alleviate foot pain. They are commonly used to treat conditions such as:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Bursitis
- Calluses
- Tendonitis
- Bunions & hammer toes
- Diabetic foot ulcers
- General foot, ankle, and heel pain
Adjusting to Your Orthotics
To ensure comfort and effectiveness, it’s important to break in your orthotics gradually:
- Start with 2 hours on Day 1, increasing by 1 hour daily until full-day wear is achieved.
- If discomfort occurs, wear them for shorter intervals and gradually increase wear time.
- Adjustments may be necessary after 3-4 weeks, and we offer a 6-month adjustment period for modifications.
Caring for Your Orthotics
- Clean with mild soap and warm water, then air dry.
- Avoid exposure to high heat (heaters, dryers, fireplaces).
- Under normal use, orthotics last 1-5 years. Annual check-ups help ensure proper function.
Maximizing Effectiveness
Orthotics provide essential support but should be used alongside:
- Stretching & strengthening exercises as recommended.
- Proper footwear—ensure you have supportive shoes before your fitting.
Insurance & Reimbursement
Orthotics can only be claimed through insurance after your dispense appointment and full payment. At this appointment, we provide all necessary documentation, including:
- Biomechanical Gait Analysis
- Manufacturer Lab Report
