Supporting Your Feet and Improving Your Life

Orthotics can be used to treat a range of conditions and injuries, including flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and diabetic foot ulcers. Orthotics are custom-made to fit your feet and provide the support you need to improve mobility and reduce pain.

Orthotics are medical devices that are designed to support and align the feet through accommodations and corrections individually designed into the device. They are typically worn inside shoes and are designed to improve foot function and reduce pain. Orthotics come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be made from different materials depending on your needs.

Types of Orthotics

There are several types of orthotics that can be used to treat different foot conditions. Some common types of orthotics include:

  • Orthotics for runners
  • Arch support orthotics are used to provide support to the arch of the foot. They can be used to treat flat feet, plantar fasciitis, and other foot conditions
  • Safety shoe orthotics are also designed to be inserted into steel-toe boots
  • Thin dress shoe orthotics provide support but are suitable for dress shoes and in some cases, high heels.

Benefits of Orthotics

Orthotics offer many benefits to those who use them. Some of the most significant benefits include:

  • Help reduce pain and discomfort caused by foot conditions and injuries.
  • Improve mobility and range of motion.
  • Protect the feet from further injury and help prevent re-injury.
  • Customized to fit your feet perfectly, so you can be sure that you’re getting the right support and protection for your feet.

How to Get Orthotics

To find out if orthotics might be right for you, the first step is to stop in to our clinic for an assessment!

We can help you determine if orthotics are the best treatment option for your condition or injury.

If we recommend orthotics, we will take a 3D scan of your foot and ankle and/or take a foam cast of your feet to build you custom orthotics that fit you perfectly.

Pricing

At Momentum Health, we want to ensure your health dollars are well spent. That’s why we are excited to offer a competitive rate on our orthotics.

A single pair is $400 or if you buy two pairs, the total cost is $700. This can be a great deal if you have multiple shoes that need orthotics. Additional sales may be offered in some locations.

Please be extremely certain to investigate your insurance plan to find out which practitioner is permitted to prescribe the custom orthotics. Some plans require a physiotherapist to dispense orthotics where others require a chiropractor.

When fully custom orthotics are not the right option for you, a high-quality insert can be considered instead. At Momentum Health, we predominantly use Kneed brand inserts. Insoles are used to provide cushioning and support to the feet. They can be used to treat foot pain, heel spurs, and other foot conditions. These come purpose-built for running and other activities and are significantly less expensive. These are sized to your shoe but are not custom-built.

If you think that orthotics might be right for you, contact us today. With the right orthotics, you can improve your quality of life and get back to doing the things you love.

I just changed shoes and don’t want to buy brand new orthotics. Can you help?

Yes! If you have minor augmentations or alterations that need to be made, we can get this fixed up for you for a nominal fee
