How Do Custom Made Orthotics work?
As they say at Foot Levelers, the feet are the foundation of the body, and any imbalance or dysfunction in the feet can transfer that imbalance to the other areas of the body. We can see the ankles, knees, hips, spine, shoulders and even jaw (TMJ) bear the burden of imbalance in the feet. Custom Orthotics allow us to tailor support to the demands of your feet and body. Whether you need support for sports like running, and weight lifting, or simply to stand on your feet long enough to enjoy a night out, custom orthotics can improve your overall body mechanics, reducing pain and providing longevity.
What conditions do the doctors at Revive recommend orthotics for?
Custom orthotics are a research-proven solution for plantar fasciitis, low back pain, ankle sprains/ankle instability, knee pain, and many other musculoskeletal conditions. The doctors at Revive will prescribe them for conditions ranging from plantar fasciitis, and low back pain to chronic jaw pain. Additionally, we also suggest them for our weekend runners to endurance athletes, and post-partum moms as a means to support the body while under grueling tasks.
Orthotics can be chosen based not only on your unique physical needs, but also around show wear and times of use. The doctors at Revive can help you understand what would best fit your needs.
Does Insurance cover orthotics?
Yes, most often your insurance carrier can cover orthotics, especially when medically beneficial. Not all policies provide coverage, and sometimes coverage is limited based on diagnosis. For more understanding on if your benefits allow treatment modalities like custom orthotics, we suggest you contact your insurance carrier directly. Revive can provide estimates, and self-pay costs but cannot guarantee coverage until a time that service is rendered and insurance responds.
