Q: What are the advantages of custom orthotics?
A: Custom orthotics provide superior support, correction, and cushioning compared to over-the-counter inserts. They are designed to address your specific foot structure, gait, and activity level, helping to alleviate pain, improve alignment, and enhance performance.
Q: How are your orthotics different from those offered by other providers like pedorthists?
A: Podiatrists are DOCTORS who can both DIAGNOSE and TREAT foot and ankle conditions. This means you get a comprehensive evaluation and orthotics designed to address the root cause of your problem. I also have advanced training in biomechanics, surgery, and sports medicine. Dr. Z's orthotics are made to exceed the highest standards.
Q: Are Orthotics Covered by Insurance?
A: Dr. Z will prepare all the necessary paperwork to get the maximum coverage offered by your plan. You should check with your plan before the visit. Typically 80% is covered and replacements are once every year or two.
Q: How much do custom orthotics cost?
A: The cost is $810, which includes the orthotics, the biomechanical/sports medicine examination, and two follow-up visits for modifications. We provide documentation for insurance reimbursement. People on Provincial disability or First Nations Patients can be billed directly.
Q: How long does it take to get my orthotics?
A: Typically 6 business days, but let us know if you need them sooner.
Q: What if I need more than orthotics?
A: If a more complex issue is discovered during your orthotics appointment, you will be refunded the orthotics fee and scheduled for a full consultation as soon as possible. This might occur if you have a complex foot problem that requires a full podiatry medical examination, such as a tendon tear, broken bone, or diabetic ulceration.
Q: What conditions can orthotics help with?
A: Orthotics can help with a wide range of conditions, including plantar fasciitis, heel pain, bunions, flat feet, high arches, metatarsalgia, shin splints, knee pain, and back pain. Not everything is treated by orthotics, and results cannot be guaranteed, but I will not make orthotics unless they are very likely to be the right choice for you.
Q: Should I try over-the-counter orthotics first?
A: While over-the-counter orthotics can provide temporary relief for some individuals, custom orthotics offer a more targeted and long-lasting solution for complex foot conditions or specific needs. For some people, a good sports orthotic like Green Superfeet may be a good starting point. These can be purchased at sports stores locally or online.
