Frequently Asked Questions
-
Custom made foot orthotics are specialized inserts made to fit your specific foot shape. Unlike over-the-counter insoles (such as Dr. Scholl's), these are prescribed medical devices fitted by a medical professional to address specific biomechanical conditions, support your arches, and correct foot alignment.

Orthotics are designed to support, align, prevent, or correct deformities while modifying the position or motion of your feet. They are effective at treating a variety of issues including flat feet, bunions, and achilles pain, as well as referred pain in the knees, hips, and back.
-
A prescription is provided after a foot specialist, such as a Chiropodist or Podiatrist, performs a full medical history review, assesses the structural movement of your joints, and conducts a professional gait analysis (analyzing the way you walk).
-
At Active Arches, we create a custom 3D mold or cast of your feet. This precise model is sent to a specialized laboratory where the orthotics are manufactured using an advanced CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing) system and finished by hand for ultimate accuracy.

Most private insurance plans in Ontario provide coverage for custom orthotics, provided they are prescribed and dispensed by a licensed Chiropodist. We recommend checking your specific policy for details on your coverage limits.

On average, custom orthotics last between 1 to 3 years with proper care. The lifespan depends on the materials used, your activity level, and the intensity of use. We recommend regular check-ups at Active Arches to ensure your orthotics still provide the necessary support and to determine when a replacement is needed.
