One of the most frequently asked questions we get is “Are custom orthotics worth it?” Our answer is an enthusiastic yes!
Do Custom Orthotics Help?
If you are one of the millions of people who experiences foot pain or referred pain in your knees, hips, and back, orthotics may be for you. Orthotics can help correct your gait, align your body, stabilize your foot, correctly position your foot strike, and absorb shocks. They can help treat existing problems like foot or knee pain while walking and help prevent future problems like plantar fasciitis or fallen arches. The money you spend on custom orthotics is an investment but it will be repaid by lack of pain and the added peace of mind of not having to treat problems later. So, do custom orthotics help? Yes. But are custom made orthotics worth it? Read on.
Traditional Custom Orthotics Can Be Cost-Prohibitive
We are aware that traditional custom orthotics can be prohibitively expensive for many people. Only sometimes covered by insurance, and even then, people have deductibles and out-of-pocket maxes to consider before getting their full benefits, custom orthotics can cost a lot of money. So do custom orthotics really work? It is certain. But there is also no doubt that orthotics are expensive. Additionally, they require a prescription, which means multiple doctor’s visits, costing the patient additional money as well as time. This leads to a lot of people scratching their heads and wondering “Are custom orthotics worth it?”
Are Over-the-Counter Insoles a Good Solution?
To remedy this issue, people often opt for over-the-counter (OTC) orthotics. These orthotics are basic inserts designed to provide some extra cushioning within the shoe and possibly correct minor foot problems. Drugstores often offer machines or testing to try to fit you with the best OTC orthotic fit for your foot. While OTC orthotics may work for some, they tend to worsen the problem for many since the orthotics are not custom fit or designed for their specific diagnosis.
A Custom Orthotics Solution
Happily, the vast majority of patients who use custom orthotics recover from injuries and are able to stay active. That is because custom orthotics can correct your specific foot issue. Whether you are suffering from sore feet, referred pain in your knees, hips, or back, or even diabetes-related foot problems, custom orthotics can be specifically designed to help you with your foot issues.
