Custom-Made Orthotics
What are custom-made orthotics?
Custom-made orthotics are a medical device (similar looking to an insole) that can be discreetly inserted into shoes to support, align, prevent and/or accommodate foot/gait imbalances and abnormalities.
They are often covered by extended health insurance plans, but most plans will require a prescription from a general practitioner. Individual plans will vary, so we recommend you check your coverage.
