Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about orthotic devices and equipment
How do I know if my child needs orthotic support?
Signs include difficulty with balance, abnormal walking patterns, muscle weakness, joint deformities, or frequent falls. Our therapists can assess your child's specific needs and recommend appropriate interventions.
How long does it take to get custom orthotic devices?
Custom devices typically take 2-4 weeks to fabricate after initial measurements and fitting. We work with certified orthotists to ensure quality and proper fit for each individual child.
Will my child need to wear the orthotic device all the time?
Wearing schedules vary based on the child's condition and the type of device. Some may be worn throughout the day, while others are used only during specific activities or for certain periods.
How often do orthotic devices need to be replaced?
Growing children typically need device adjustments every 6-12 months and complete replacements every 1-2 years. We monitor growth and make recommendations for updates as needed.
Are orthotic devices covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover medically necessary orthotic devices. We work with families to understand their coverage and assist with documentation required for insurance approval.
