What are foot orthotics?: Foot orthotics are inserts that are placed directly within your shoes. They are used to control abnormal motion such as flat feet, provide shock absorbtion for high arches, or relieve painful areas such as heel spurs, bunions, and callouses.
Why should I have CUSTOM orthotics made?: The only way to ensure proper fit and to get the maximum benefit is to have orthotics customized to your unique needs.
Who should make your orthotics?: Don't be fooled into spending $300 for foot othotics! You can count on WalkWell Orthotics to provide you with effective and affordable custom foot orthotics.
Do I need to make an appointment? Yes. The entire process takes an hour. Please call to make an appointment. I am in the Beverly office every Friday 7/8am to 6/7 pm. I am in the Groveland office every other Tuesday from 2:00 until 8:00pm. See you soon!!"
Can my flat feet be causing my knee pain or back pain?
The short answer is YES. Every patient at WalkWell receives a thorough biomechanical evaluation. We will examine your foot posture and gait mechanics in order to determine the influence of faulty foot mechanics on the entire kinetic chain. The kinetic chain is the “chain” of joints from your toes up to your spine. Every step you take has a cumulative effect on adjacent joints. Just imagine the torque that is created at your knee, hip, and low back when your foot is severely flattening during the average 8-10,000 steps we take every day.
Custom, full length foot orthotics $140
Custom, 3/4 length dress shoe orthotics $120
Semi-custom, "Sid's" foot orthotics $75

Please give me the courtesy of 24 hours notice before any cancellation so that I can fill your time with another patient who is on my waiting list. Please DO NOT schedule an appointment if you are not absolutely certain that you can attend. Last minute cancellations or no-shows not only hurt me, but they also hurt those who are waiting patiently to see me. Thank you for your consideration.
Please bring several pairs of shoes ie work shoes,sneakers and a personal check or cash to your appointment. Sorry, we do NOT have a credit card machine. Foot orthotics are RARELY covered by insurance. See you soon!!
