Plaster of Paris Casting
A traditional, non-weight-bearing casting method
Plaster of Paris casting captures a true 3D, non-weight-bearing mold of your foot. By holding your foot in its ideal neutral position while the quick-setting plaster sets, this traditional method precisely captures every contour and arch profile. The result is a highly accurate representation of your foot’s structural alignment, creating the foundation for custom orthotics that deliver optimal support and corrective balance.
Podiatric 3D Laser Scanner
Laser Scanning that Replicates Plaster of Paris Casting
Our digital scanner utilizes red line-laser 3D-imaging to quickly and accurately captures a true-dimension digital cast of the human foot. Our scanner can complete and process a scan in seven seconds and send it along to the lab in another five seconds.
Cost and Insurance Coverage
Mount Joy Foot Clinic & Orthotic Centre fit custom orthotics for $575 a pair. This includes a casting (3D laser scan or plaster of Paris), one pair of custom orthotics, and your dispensing appointment. Many extended health plans will cover some or all of the cost, often when a claim includes a prescription, a documented biomechanical assessment, casting method used, and the manufacturers' lab letter. Our chiropodists are in good standing with insurance providers and can provide you with the necessary documents to file your claim.
Custom orthotics are not covered by OHIP. We recommend you check your plan’s requirements ahead of your appointment.
