    Excellent article, thanks for posting. My husband has seen over the past several years an increase in patients refusing to purchase custom orthotics when their insurance will not cover them. In the years when insurance covered orthotics, he used to cast for 4-5 custom orthotics in a day. Now he is lucky to do 1 or 2 a day. In my opinion, it is pretty expensive for most working people to afford a custom orthotic. Also, they can go anywhere to purchase a prefab orthotic. He has been producing more and more heat moldable orthotics. For $75 he will produce a "custom" orthotic in about 10 minutes. Patients seem to like them. They are perceived by patients as a custom orthotic
    Thanks again,

    A custom orthotic has design features specific to the patient’s biomechanical abnormality.
    In ten min, can you add a forefoot valgus extension or reverse Morton’s extension? Can you add a medial heel skive and maybe Poron in the heel area? Can you off-load a plantarflexed metatarsal? Are you applying a quality top cover?

    Are you performing Jack’s test with the patient standing barefoot and then standing on the orthotics to see if the orthotics are making a difference?

    Is there any thought process behind just heating molding a shell to the patient’s foot?


    When working people have foot pain and truly need a custom orthotic, they will most often pay for it. If your charging $75 for a heat moldable device then you could discount your fee to $175 and give the patient a real custom orthotic or sell them a high quality prefab ( for less than $75) that come with many design features and quality topcovers.

    What I really did not read about in this article was the use of prefabricated or heat moldable orthotics. They make such a huge difference for our patients at a reasonable price point.

    Thanks for posting. We've found that using a felt arch support pad can make a huge difference with our plantar fasciitis patients. We either glue them directly to the patient's arch with a low dye tape or glue them to the shoe's insole. Not sure why more of us use felt arch support pads?
