What are some signs that I may need orthotics or braces?

If you are experiencing frequent foot, leg, or back pain, this may indicate a need for orthotics. Over-pronation (flat feet), under-pronation (high-arched feet), and general instability when walking or standing are common indications of potential orthotic use. For individuals who find they're consistently wearing out shoes on one side quicker than the other, this can be a sign of an uneven gait that could benefit from corrective orthotics. In terms of braces, these are usually recommended if you've recently had an injury or surgery involving your joints (commonly knee or elbow). Frequent pain in the affected joint and difficulty with movement is often an indication that a brace could provide beneficial support. Braces can also be utilized for preventative measures in high-risk activities such as sports to avoid potential injuries.

Can I use my insurance for getting Orthotics/Braces?

Many health insurance plans do provide coverage for medically necessary devices like custom-made Orthotics & Braces but it largely depends on your specific policy details. Often there is stipulation about where the devices must be sourced and who can prescribe them, with many insurance providers requiring a physician's referral. To ensure your claim is accepted, it's essential to verify the specific details of your coverage with your insurance provider beforehand. This includes any necessary documentation or approvals required. Our administrative staff at Mimico Physiotherapy and Chiropractic Clinic can assist you with the insurance billing process to make it as hassle-free as possible.

Will the braces restrict my mobility?

While some people may worry that a brace could limit their movement, it's actually designed to facilitate better, safer mobility. A well-fitted brace provides support for weak or injured joints without significantly restricting your range of motion. In fact, it can enhance your ability to perform daily activities by providing stability and reducing pain. It’s worth noting that any initial discomfort typically lessens over time as you get used to wearing the brace. Remember, every individual's experience is different and what may feel restrictive initially could soon become a comfortable support system encouraging confident movement.

What are some benefits of orthotics or braces?

Orthotics offer numerous benefits including pain relief in feet, ankles, legs, and even the back by realigning the structure of the foot. They correct walking patterns and redistribute pressure across the foot evenly which aids in preventing various foot-related conditions like bunions or hammertoes. In addition to providing immediate support for an injury or post-surgery recovery period, braces also serve a preventative function by protecting vulnerable joints during high-impact activities like sports. They contribute towards reducing swelling by compressing soft tissues around an injured area while ensuring joint stability which allows individuals to continue their daily activities with lesser pain.
