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.

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.

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

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.

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.
