How to have orthotics made?

See a professional: Custom made foot supports are fabricated to models of your feet, and incorporate corrections for abnormalities in the foot structure and/or function. See a podiatrist or orthotist for these devices. If you go to the orthotist, make sure you have a prescription from a doctor. Also check with your insurance plan if they are a covered service, and what the cost is to you.

Podiatrist.: See a podiatrist. You should have a custom molded plaster of paris cast applied while you are sitting or laying supine, not standing.

Go to the Orthotisit: He is specializing in making orthotic devices. Sometime podiatrist make their own orthotic devices.

Orthotics: orthotics are custom made bio mechanical devices to help with over pronation or over supination. Both problems can be addressed by creating a custom mould of the feet and then selecting the proper materials for the patient. They can help with bone spurs, bunions, metatarsalgiia, neuromas and other pathologies.
