I wanted to review with everyone how I approach orthotics. I start by doing thorough examination of the feet. Simulate what weightbearing would do to the feet and how it's natural position sits. Check to see if there is any swelling, tightness or deformities that could be contributing. At this point I can tell to see if the patient would need orthotics. This is the first step. The next step is to then measure the feet using a 3D scanner so that I can replicate the feet non-we...ightbearing and weightbearing. This helps to address any flex in the midfoot. Sometimes, someone has a limb length discrepancy and an approximate lift is added to the orthotic. The next visit is to dispense the orthotic. If someone has a limb length discrepancy then material is either added or taken away depending on the hip position at the time of the orthotic dispensal. There will then be a follow up visit to assess the wear pattern on the orthotic to make sure that there is symmetry and that the desired correction is being achieved. Further adjustment might be necessary. I follow up until desired result is achieved. Because these are completely custom made and that insurance companies have coverage for them then there is no refunds. I will gladly follow up and do any adjustments that are needed. See more
