What To Expect During Your Appointment

Our process is simple and straightforward. Here’s what happens during your Custom Footmaxx Orthotics appointment:

1. Consultation: We kick things off with a thorough consultation to understand your history, any previous injuries, your lifestyle and other conditions that might affect your gait, as well as understand your goals of orthotics

2. Gait Analysis: Next, using our skilled Practitioners’ watchful eyes along with the Footmaxx 2D scan, we perform a comprehensive gait analysis to understand how your feet move. This scan helps identify any irregularities or imbalances that may be contributing to your discomfort. It also captures precise measurements and pressure displacement of your feet.

3. Custom Fitting: Based on the data from your 3D scan, your orthotics are precisely crafted to match the unique contours of your feet. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness. After this, we place the order. Once your orthotics are ready, we’ll ensure they fit perfectly and provide the support you need.

What Our Patients Are Saying

“This place is truly amazing. Loved the custom orthotics and have used them for years.”

Michael

“I always have custom orthotics professionally made by MYoLab.  Before this clinic, I had podiatrists just make a mold for a full-length pair and they were never effective.  The plain in the past was so bad that I suffered to even walk to work.  My custom 3/4 length orthotics developed by MyoLab’s assessment process has made me pain-free and active.  Your feet deserve the care.  See MyoLab for orthotics.”

Dennis D.

“I had a positive orthotics experience in the past with Evan. It was my first pair and I had a lot of questions, which he answered and took his time. I would recommend MyoLab for orthotics.”

Do I need a prescription for Footmaxx Custom Orthotics?

We’ve seen some cases where insurance providers may request either a Physician (Medical Doctor) or a doctor’s (Doctor of Chiropractic) note for Custom Orthotics. This is why it’s best to understand your insurance’s specific requirements and even proactively have your healthcare practitioner’s note before your orthotics appointment. That way, should your insurance provider require it, we have all the necessary paperwork ready to file your claim. 

If you’re certain your insurance provider doesn’t need a doctor’s note, there’s no need to arrange for one. You can just book your appointment, and we’ll take it from there.

Are Footmaxx Custom Orthotics covered by insurance?

Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. Footmaxx™ orthotics are generally covered through most extended healthcare insurance plans. That being said, it’s advisable to check with your provider to see if custom orthotics are included in your coverage.

How do I clean my Footmaxx Custom Orthotics?

Dab a clean cloth in soapy water and gently wipe the orthotics free of any debris/stains. Allow it to dry at room temperature.

Is there a break-in period for Footmaxx Custom Orthotics?

Yes, it’s common to experience a short adjustment period, in which some people report mild foot and/or lower body discomfort as they get used to the improved structure and biomechanics. We recommend the following break-in guidelines:

  • Before inserting your Footmaxx orthotics, remove the original insoles from your shoes.
  • Start by wearing them for a few hours each day and gradually increase the time as your feet adapt. For example, on day 1, wear your new orthotics for just an hour, even if they feel comfortable. On day 2, increase the time to two hours. If you experience discomfort at any time before reaching two hours, take them off.
  • Gradually increase the time you wear your orthotics each day until you can wear them comfortably all the time. It’s normal to initially feel slight discomfort in your lower back, hips, or knees. If this happens, reduce your wear time and slowly increase it again.
  • Bring your orthotics with you when buying new shoes to ensure they fit comfortably.
  • If your orthotics squeak, sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder under the sole. This should eliminate the noise.

How long do Footmaxx Custom Orthotics last?

With proper care, these orthotics can last several years. They are made from durable materials designed to withstand daily wear. That being said, the best practice is to update your orthotic scan every 365 days to ensure any natural changes in your feet and/or gait are addressed and adjusted for.
