Custom Fit Foot Orthotic
vs Off The Shelf Inserts?
Custom orthotics
are
specially-made devices designed to support and comfort
YOUR
feet.
Prescription orthotics are crafted for you and no one else. They match the
contours of your feet precisely and are designed for the way you move. Prescription
custom fit orthotics are only manufactured after you have undergone a complete
evaluation of your feet, ankles, and legs, so the orthotic can accommodate your
unique foot structure and pathology. A custom fit orthotic provides a more
predictable response and longer-term symptom relief.
Off the shelf orthotics
, are
general pre-packed, mass produced arch supports. Their size is determined by
your shoe size and not the shape of your foot. They can cushion your feet, and
hopefully support your arches but they can’t correct your specific biomechanical issues.
The advantages
of using a custom fit prescription orthotic are the excellent personalized fit
with the individualized correction of biomechanical faults
Adding
Prescription Foot Orthotics to your shoes and wearing them every day is like
propping up your body and giving it some much needed support that is going to
let you keep active for longer than anyone else and do it with much less pain.
Imagine
How NICE It Would Be If Every Time You Took A Simple Walk With Friends, Did
Some Exercise Or Played A Round Of Golf, You KNEW That Your Vital Joints Were
Being PROTECTED (…Meaning Less Pain At The Time OR Even When You Wake Up The
Next Day)
I want
you to be very aware that your prescription orthotic is specifically for you. Just
like when you go to the optician, you get a pair of prescription glasses for
YOU, that are specific for YOUR eyes. Our custom fit orthotics are exactly the
same, they are a prescription just for YOU.
How We Make
a Custom Fit Orthotic?
We invite you to the clinic, where you will be asked to remove
your footwear and socks. We will have a look at your posture and your
biomechanics.
We then use a scanner which uses the latest up to date scanning
technology, to get an impression of your foot. The scan is then sent to our
manufacturer where the prescription, custom fit orthotic is milled with
precision, so that it fits exactly to YOUR foot.
We generally have to wait 1-2 weeks for the orthotic to be sent
back to the clinic before you are invited back to have the orthotic fitted.
