About this service

Custom orthotics are shoe inserts made for an individual. Richard Casanova works with foot and lower limb concerns, using assessment findings to discuss whether orthotics may be appropriate.

Before your appointment

Contact the clinic about an assessment and ask what footwear to bring. Confirm costs and your insurer’s requirements before ordering; coverage differs between plans.

A closer look at your visit

An insert made for an individual

Custom foot orthotics are inserts designed to be worn inside shoes. Max Physiotherapy describes a process that considers the foot, walking pattern and footwear before discussing an individual design. The service is available through the clinic’s pedorthist, Richard Casanova.

Assessment comes before an order

Use the appointment to discuss where you feel discomfort, the activities affected and the shoes you normally wear. Richard’s profile describes lower limb and gait assessment. Ask what footwear to bring and what the assessment can tell you about the available options. Orthotics are a possible option to discuss, rather than an automatic next step for every foot concern.

Confirm fitting, costs and coverage

Before ordering, ask about the proposed design, fitting arrangements, price and any follow up. Insurers can have specific documentation or prescription requirements, so check those details with your provider and the clinic. A direct billing option does not establish coverage for every plan.
