Don’t Be Fooled!
As I was walking through a Walmart in McKinney buying groceries, I ventured over to the foot product section by the pharmacy. What I saw made me a little disappointed. I saw this “machine” by Dr. Scholl’s claiming to analyze your feet and prescribe you “custom orthoses”. To the layman, this may seem like a good deal, however, I feel this is very misleading to the consumers. It must be known that every orthotic sold at Walmart, CVS, Academy Sports, Walgreens are NOT custom orthotics. They are pre-fabricated in a factory. Custom orthotics are completely different and are manufactured by taking a cast or mold of the feet, sending the mold or cast to an orthotist, who produces an orthotic specific for your feet. The orthotics by Dr. Scholl’s may be something to try initially, but if you continue to have pain, please seek a professional opinion from Dr. Silvers. We can provide “true” custom orthotics.
