FITTING YOUR CUSTOMIZED ORTHOTICS

To meed your unique needs, your orthotics can be custom built from different methods of casting the feet. Our office uses a TomCat Scanner - this is a 3-D scanner - we make a 3-D image of your feet to reproduce images to be used to create your custom orthotics. We also have biofoam impression where we evenly compress your feet into the biofoam for the impression. Another way is using casting supplies with plaster or casting socks where we use water and hands to form the plaster or casting socks to your foot. Which ever casting device is used - the scan or cast is sent to an orthotics lab where a trained technician with then craft your custom orthotics to meet your specific prescription and fit the model of your foot. Your can expect to receive your new custom orthotics anywhere from 2-4 weeks.
