Custom Orthotics in Burlington

Custom orthotics are corrective shoe inserts casted to your feet. They are not an off-the-shelf insole: each pair starts with a cast of your own feet. At Westside Chiropractic on Plains Road East in Burlington, custom orthotics are one of the ways we help people of all ages move, heal, and live better.

Biomechanics from the feet up

For us, orthotics are about understanding the biomechanics stemming from your feet and providing support. The inserts are only part of the picture: the understanding comes first.

Before we recommend orthotics, we take a full history and assess how you move, then explain what we think is going on and talk through your options. If your discomfort appears to relate to your foot mechanics, orthotics may become part of your recovery plan, sometimes alongside chiropractic adjustments or exercise and rehab.

What the $495 fee includes

Our custom orthotics casting appointment is $495. That fee includes a detailed assessment of your gait and body biomechanics, the orthotics themselves, and an appointment to make sure the orthotics fit well and feel great. We also carry medical-grade compression socks (20-30 mmHg) for $145. You can see our full price list on our fees and insurance page.

Are custom orthotics right for you?

Orthotics are not the right answer for everyone, and we will be honest with you if we do not think they will help. If your assessment suggests your feet are part of the picture, orthotics are one of the options we will talk through with you, never something we push.

Runners often ask about orthotics for support and comfort. If your assessment suggests they will help, we will talk it through, and you can also read how we work with runners in Burlington.

Will my insurance cover custom orthotics?

We cannot tell you exactly what your plan will pay, so it is worth checking with your insurer before you book a casting appointment. Questions we would recommend asking your insurance company include:

• Can a chiropractor make my orthotics for me?
• Do I need a referral note from my medical doctor?
