Custom Foot Orthotics
A custom foot orthotic is a device that helps support the natural shape of your foot by re- aligning the structures in your feet to a neutral position. Foot orthotics help reduce or eliminate foot/ankle, knee, and back pain by:
- Creating proper foot alignment
- Distributing weight evenly
- Improving shock absorption
- Maximizing muscle function
Unlike retail shoe inserts, custom orthotics are built from molds of your feet. At JumpStart, the therapist will take a plaster mold of your foot in the clinic. This mold is then shipped off to our supplier with your specifications. The foot orthotic is usually shipped back to us within two weeks.
Do I need a doctor's prescription to order custom orthotics?
No. Orthotics are available in foot care stores and via internet sites. Custom orthotics are molded to your feet and can be order through JumpStart.
How long will my orthotic last?
Usually between 12-24 months depending upon type of usage.
Will insurance cover custom orthotics?
Most insurance companies do not pay for foot orthotics. We accept credit card, cash, or check payment.
What is the cost of custom orthotics?
Each pair is $350.00
Do you make orthotics for children? What happens when children outgrow them?
Yes, we do make orthotics for children. We offer an "outgrowth policy" program for children that costs an additional $50.00 to cover a 3 year time period. Patients under the age of 18 are eligible for one pair of replacement orthotics once they have outgrown the first pair.
For example:
$350.00 first pair + $50.00 second pair within 3 years = $400.00 total upfront cost.
Each additional pair during the 3 year time period costs $50.00 per occurrence.
Please contact JumpStart, or speak with your therapist if you have additional questions regarding this service.
