FAQs
-
The lifespan of custom-made orthotics can vary depending on several factors, such as the materials used, the frequency and intensity of use, and the wearer's weight and activity level. Generally, custom-made orthotics can last anywhere from one to five years with proper care and maintenance. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your podiatrist on how to care for and clean your orthotics to ensure they last as long as possible. Additionally, it is recommended to have your orthotics evaluated and possibly replaced every year or two to ensure they are still providing the necessary support and correction for your feet.
-
Custom-made orthotics can be a worthwhile investment for individuals who suffer from foot pain or other foot-related issues. While they may be more expensive than over-the-counter options, custom-made orthotics can provide the necessary support and correction for your feet, which can improve overall foot health and reduce pain. However, it is important to consult with a podiatrist to determine if custom-made orthotics are the right solution for your particular needs. They can provide guidance on the best course of treatment and whether orthotics would be a worthwhile investment for your specific situation.
-
Custom-made orthotics are not covered by Medicare. Depending on your private health cover, most health funds cover a significant portion of the cost of orthotics. We can provide you with the right codes etc. so that you can contact your health insurance to see what they cover.
