How do you make the orthotics?
The chiropractors at King West Chiropractic will use either a
computerized gait scan and/or a foam cast to diagnose foot problems.
The orthotics are produced by either The Orthotic Group or ChiroPods.
Why are orthotics so expensive?
Orthotics are custom made for your feet and any problems you
have. The castings are analyzed by a computer technician and made
accordingly. The materials used are strong and durable, therefore,
your orthotics can last for up to 4 years before they need to be
replaced.
Will orthotics help my lower back pain?
Yes, orthotics may help. If your arches have dropped, or the
biomechanics of your feet are altered, it can cause a change in how
you walk and put pressure on your ankles, knees and hips resulting
in lower back pain.
How long will a pair last?
It depends on how often you wear your orthotics They should be
worn everyday, however if you have multiple pairs, they can last
anywhere from 2-5 years.
Why should I wear orthotics?
People should wear orthotics for various reasons including: flat
feet / fallen arches, heel spurs, plantar fascitis, pronation (over
rotation of the foot inwards\ and supination (walking on the outside
of the foot).
Will OHIP cover orthotics?
No. Extended health care benefits may cover the cost of the
orthotics. Each insurance company\'s terms are different. |
