Are Orthotics Worth It?

The response to this question varies depending on individual circumstances. However, if you're experiencing discomfort and biomechanical issues in your lower limbs, custom orthotics could offer substantial relief. Tailored to your needs, custom orthotics provide personalized support, particularly targeting concerns in the lower extremities, such as our feet! They effectively address alignment irregularities by evenly distributing pressure, promoting pain alleviation, and restoring neutral alignment. Our pedorthists are trained in analyzing your biomechanics and gait to better assist your decision when purchasing custom orthotics.

What to Look For When Purchasing Custom Orthotics?

Here at Myodynamic health, our team of Canadian-certified Pedorthists specialize in biomechanical analysis, gait assessment, custom orthotic designing, manufacturing, and lower limb medical devices. Each practitioner encompasses a comprehensive understanding of various lower limb conditions! Our practitioners make it their top priority to thoroughly examine their patients, decipher the treatment methods that best suit them, and explain how custom orthotics or medical devices can benefit your specific condition. All of our Custom Orthotics are engineered and designed in-house by our highly trained pedorthists and technicians within our very own fabrication lab. We take pride in our in-house manufacturing process that ensures top-of-the-line quality products for our patients. Our access to a diverse range of high-quality materials tailored to address the individual conditions of each patient, ensures superior comfort and effectiveness in every custom orthotic. Our in-house lab ensures seamless modifications, easy adjustments, and timely remakes, guaranteeing the perfect fit and maximum comfort for every patient!

What Casting Techniques to Look For?

We prioritize helping our patients find the perfect custom orthotic casting technique. With our commitment to excellence, we offer cutting-edge 3D scanning technology that captures the exact contours and unique shape of each foot. Our 3D scans are analyzed and further engineered with modifications and distinctive adjustments to meet each patient's needs. We also utilize our traditional yet reliable foam box casting techniques alongside this casting method. Our experienced and well-trained pedorthists ensure precision and accuracy with each cast, guaranteeing optimal orthotic solutions tailored to each patient’s specific needs and conditions.

What Conditions do Orthotics Treat?

Custom Orthotics may be used to encourage improved athletic performance and everyday functionality with their shock-absorbent and cushioning properties. Some of the most common conditions that orthotics may help with are plantar fasciitis, high arches (pes cavus), flat feet (pes planus), bunions, Achilles tendinitis, shin splints, leg length differences, knee pain, and even hip pain! While over-the-counter inserts are available, custom-made orthotics are moulded to fit the specific contours of an individual's feet and this precise customization ensures an optimal and effective product for your needs!

Is the Practitioner you Purchased them from Approved Through your Health Plan?

Here at Myodynamic health all of our certified pedorthists are registered under various insurance company providers, ensuring that our patients with applicable insurance plans can confidently utilize their coverage with our practitioners. While only select insurance companies allow direct billing, we strive to simplify the payment process for all of our patients. We provide detailed paperwork and guidance to facilitate the pay and submit process, making it hassle-free for our patients to utilize their insurance benefits!

Why Custom vs Dr. Scholls?

Custom Orthotics are individually crafted to suit the unique contours and needs of each patient’s foot, often addressing specific biomechanical issues and conditions. Dr. Scholl’s inserts are mass-produced, over-the-counter products designed to provide generic cushioning and support for common foot discomfort. While they offer convenience and affordability, they are best suited for fast relief and low-quality pain. Custom Orthotics offer an entirely different level of customization, targeted correction, comfort, and quality!

Custom orthotics are also an amazing long-term investment made with durable materials that can last for several years with the proper care. Here at Myodynamic health we guarantee our orthotics for two years, reassuring our patients of the high quality and durable features of our products! All of our orthotics are manufactured within our on-site fabrication lab and are made by our amazingly skilled pedorthists using the highest quality of materials. Having our on-site lab allows us to control every aspect of our orthotic design and permits us to modify, adjust, and perfect each patient's orthotics promptly!
