• The total cost for custom orthotics is $500, with a $100 deposit due at the initial appointment and the remaining $400 due at pick-up, approximately 5-10 business days after scanning.
• Alterations after pick-up are free of charge for up to 6 months.

Yes, but you need to introduce them slowly during a break-in period:

1. Do not wear your new orthotics during strenuous physical activity in the first week.
2. Slowly incorporate them into these activities during the second week of wear.

While a running shoe is always best, a custom foot orthotic can be made to fit most types of footwear. The type of orthotic that is dispensed depends on your activity levels, presenting condition, and footwear preferences.

If you’re not 100% satisfied with your custom orthotics, we will give you a full refund. At Metrotown Family Chiropractic, patient satisfaction always comes first.

Custom orthotics help align your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and spine by providing the right support and correcting imbalances in your gait. Poor foot alignment can lead to overpronation (feet rolling inward) or supination (feet rolling outward), which can cause pain and discomfort throughout the body. By stabilizing your foundation, orthotics promote proper posture and biomechanics, reducing strain on joints and muscles while improving overall movement efficiency.

A typical custom orthotic lasts around 2-3 years on average, though this can vary. Some people may need replacements annually, while others can use theirs for over 5 years.

No, your muscles will not become weak. Strength is based on movement. When foot orthotics are worn, they allow you to move without pain and provide more mobility.

• To clean your orthotics, wash them with mild soap and warm water and leave them to air dry.
• Regularly remove your orthotics from your shoes to allow them to air out.
• Do not place your orthotics near sources of heat, such as space heaters, baseboard heaters, dryers, or fireplaces.

There are many signs that tell you if your custom orthotics need replacing, the most common of which include you are in pain, there is visible damage, you notice uneven wear on the heels of your shoes, or your feet feel tired/sore.

Massage therapy and custom orthotics complement each other by addressing both muscular tension and structural imbalances. While custom orthotics provide support, alignment, and stability for your feet, massage therapy helps release tight muscles, improve circulation, and reduce tension caused by poor posture or misalignment. Using both can enhance mobility, reduce pain, and speed up recovery from injuries or chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis and lower back pain. Together, they create a well-rounded approach to improving overall movement and comfort.
