Custom Orthotics in South Calgary
A custom orthotic is a device designed to align the foot and ankle into the most anatomically efficient position. They look like insoles, but are biomechanical medical appliances that are custom made to correct your specific foot imbalance.
The symptoms of poor foot mechanics can include any one of the following:
Comfortable and Effective
Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes – they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom orthotic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole – and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet.
3D Scanning
At Dr. Dale Byrne, we use a unique software that allows for us to take a 3D Scan of your foot that is used to manufacture your custom made orthotic. Not only is this method extremely precise but it also allows for your information to be sent to the lab within minutes to begin fabrication. The 3D Scan is our preferred method to ensure you receive the best custom made orthotic for your condition.
Do Insurance Plans/Benefits Cover the Cost
Many of the top providers do cover custom orthotics either in full or partial coverage. Each plan is different so make sure you look into your plan and let us know how we can help ensure you have met all requirements for being able to be reimbursed for your orthotic.
