From pain reduction to enhanced performance, custom orthotics offer a simple yet effective solution to support your feet and improve your overall health. Show your feet some love with custom orthotic inserts — your first step toward happier, healthier feet starts at Back to Health Wellness Centre.
What Are Orthotics & Why Do You Need Them?
Orthotics are custom-designed shoe inserts that correct foot alignment, improve foot mechanics, and reduce pain. Whether you’re dealing with foot, knee, or back pain, or simply want to boost your performance, orthotics can make a significant difference. At Back to Health Wellness Centre, we specialize in assessing your biomechanics to determine how orthotics can provide relief and improve your mobility.
Types of Orthotics: Custom vs. Off-the-Shelf
There are two main types of orthotics: off-the-shelf and custom.
Off-the-shelf orthotics are pre-made and come in various sizes and materials. They’re an affordable and quick option, perfect for those looking for basic support, comfort, or pain relief. Prices typically range from $30-$100, and they can be a great trial option before committing to a custom solution. However, they don’t always provide the personalized support needed for specific issues.
Custom orthotics are tailored to your unique foot structure and biomechanical needs. After a thorough assessment using advanced technology like 3D scanning, we send your prescription to Footmaxx, a leader in orthopedic devices and high-quality custom orthotics. While more expensive ($350-$650), custom orthotics offer superior control, long-lasting comfort, and are often covered by insurance. Plus, they can last up to five years.
How Often Should You Get Checked for Orthotics?
Your foot health isn’t static, so it’s important to have regular check-ups, especially if you experience new aches or changes in activity levels. Regular assessments annually are ideal, or sooner if you notice discomfort or changes in how you walk or move. Our team at Back to Health Wellness Centre can guide you through the process and help determine the best course of action.

The Lifespan of Orthotics: How Long Do They Last?
Off-the-shelf orthotics generally last about a year, depending on wear and tear. However, custom orthotics are built to last 5+ years with proper care, making them a more cost-effective option in the long run. Whether you’re looking for short-term relief or a long-term solution, we’ll help you choose the right option for your needs.
When Should You Consider Orthotics?
People use orthotics for a variety of reasons, including:
- Pain relief for conditions like plantar fasciitis, arthritis, or shin splints.
- Postural correction to improve alignment and prevent discomfort in the feet, knees, hips, or back.
- Performance enhancement, whether you’re an athlete or simply want to move more comfortably throughout your day.
