Do I need a prescription for custom orthotics?

Orthotics are uniquely designed on an individual basis, depending on the patient’s particular condition and needs.

How to tell if you need orthotics?

Doctors typically prescribe orthotics to treat pain or discomfort caused by deformities or conditions in the feet and legs. Foot or heel inserts prescribed by a podiatrist – a doctor who specializes in conditions of the feet – are highly customized to each individual and will only be prescribed if ready-made devices or other treatments aren’t effectively relieving your symptoms.

Orthotics may also help children with certain conditions or developmental needs, including cranial helmets and braces.

How long do custom orthotics last?

Depending on your particular orthotic and frequency of use, your custom orthotics can last up to 2-3 years on average, whereas some individuals may need to replace theirs every year.

Is it worth getting custom orthotics?

Orthotics are normally prescribed alongside other treatments such as supportive shoes and physical therapy. In conjunction with other treatments, orthotics can go a long way in correcting malformed foot positioning while avoiding more invasive treatments such as surgery.
