The best way to determine whether you need foot orthotics is to have a biomechanical assessment performed by an orthotist. You may benefit from foot orthotics if you experience foot, knee or back pain, or if you have conditions such as plantar fasciitis, metatarsalgia, hallux valgus, flat feet or high arches.

A custom foot orthotic is designed based on a comprehensive biomechanical assessment of your body, including joint range of motion, posture, gait and plantar pressure. It is designed to address your specific condition and distribute pressure according to your anatomy, providing support that is truly tailored to your needs.
A prefabricated insole, on the other hand, is a generic, mass-produced product that may provide limited relief for mild discomfort. At Médicus, all Bio-Dynamik foot orthotics are custom made.
Médicus custom foot orthotics are designed following a biomechanical assessment and the taking of a foot impression. The orthotist then selects the appropriate model and materials, after which the orthotic is manufactured in a laboratory. For complete details, read our guide, “How Are Foot Orthotics Made“?
A custom foot orthotic generally lasts between 18 and 24 months, depending on how intensively it is used. For example, it will typically wear out more quickly with running than with walking.
To help extend its lifespan, clean it regularly and avoid wearing it while it is damp, as moisture can shorten its useful life. Allow approximately one month to adjust to your orthotics. If discomfort persists, schedule a reassessment with your orthotist.
