When to See a Podiatrist
Off-the-shelf inserts help 70% of patients — but if you’ve tried several without relief, custom orthotics molded to your specific foot mechanics are usually the next step. Balance Foot & Ankle makes custom orthotics in-office and most major insurance plans cover them. We’ll cast or scan your feet and have them ready in about 2 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3D scan orthotic?
Unlike traditional plaster casting, 3D orthotic scanning uses a digital laser or pressure-mapping system to capture a precise, three-dimensional map of your foot. This data creates a custom insole digitally machined to exact specifications. The result is more consistent, faster to produce, and often more precise than plaster casts.
Are 3D custom orthotics better than traditional custom orthotics?
3D scanning can be equally or more precise than plaster casting when done properly. The real quality determinant is the doctor’s biomechanical assessment and prescription, not the scanning method. Dr. Biernacki uses digital scanning to create custom orthotics tailored to your specific gait and foot mechanics.

See how Dr. Biernacki uses advanced 3D scanning to create custom orthotics that eliminate plantar fasciitis, knee pain, back pain, and improve athletic performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are 3D-printed orthotics different from regular custom orthotics?
3D-printed orthotics are made from your exact digital foot scan — precise to 0.1mm. Unlike plaster or foam casting, 3D scanning captures the complete arch geometry in any position. The result is more accurate, more durable, and can be remade identically at any time.
Does insurance cover custom 3D orthotics?
Most insurance plans cover custom orthotics (HCPCS L3000 series) with proper medical documentation. We verify your specific benefits and provide complete documentation of medical necessity. Many patients pay $0 out-of-pocket.
How long do 3D orthotics last?
High-quality 3D-printed custom orthotics typically last 3–5 years with normal daily wear. Athletic orthotics may need replacement sooner. We keep your digital scan on file so replacements are faster and less expensive than the initial pair.

Orthotic Support Companion Kit
While you await your custom 3D orthotics (or between refills), quality OTC support bridges the gap:
PowerStep Pinnacle Insoles
Best OTC insole — closest biomechanical match to custom orthotics for patients awaiting fabrication.
PowerStep Pinnacle Maxx (Flat Feet)
For pronated feet — deeper heel cradle and firmer medial support than standard insoles.
Orthotic-Friendly Walking Shoe
Removable insole bed accommodates custom orthotics without compromising shoe fit.
Doctor Hoy’s Pain Relief Gel
For break-in period discomfort — new orthotics often require 2–4 weeks adaptation.
