Custom Orthotics
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance. Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes - they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole - and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
*Please Note: If you are planning to submit your orthotic devices through insurance, please double check your coverage to ensure you have all the necessary documentation before coming in to have the fitting done. Many companies require a prescription from your family doctor.
Please also ensure that a chiropractor is able to do the fitting in order for your insurance company to cover the orthotics.
