How can someone issue orthotics when they havent seen the patient or their feet?
A. Experience plays a big part here and the way we make the orthotics. When a negative cast is applied, and the foot is placed into a position which is as near as possible to the subtalar joint neutral position. Cyberorthotics will be manufactured off the positive cast which will place the foot into a position which is nearer the optimal position for your feet, legs, hips and lower back. Orthotics laboratories do this all the time.
