Custom Orthotics

I offer The Orthotic Group (TOG) custom orthotics, designed specifically for your feet to improve alignment, reduce strain, and support healthy movement patterns. Unlike store-bought insoles, TOG orthotics are prescription medical devices made from a 3D scan of your feet and tailored to your unique needs, lifestyle, and footwear.

Why Custom Orthotics?

  • Improve posture and alignment from the ground up

  • Reduce pain in the feet, ankles, knees, hips, or lower back

  • Support recovery from injury and prevent future strain

  • Enhance comfort during daily activities, sports, or work

  • Fit into most footwear; athletic shoes, casual shoes, and some dress shoes

Conditions They Can Help With:

  • Plantar fasciitis and heel pain

  • Flat feet or high arches

  • Bunions or hammertoes

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Knee, hip, or lower back pain related to poor foot mechanics

  • Arthritis in the feet or lower limbs

The Process:

  1. Assessment – We’ll evaluate your posture, gait, and foot mechanics.

  2. 3D Foot Scan – A digital scan captures the exact shape of your feet.

  3. Customization – Your orthotics are fabricated by TOG based on your scan and activity needs.

  4. Fitting – Once ready, we’ll ensure your orthotics fit comfortably in your footwear.

At $500 each, these custom orthotics are a long-term investment in your mobility, comfort, and overall health. Many extended health benefit plans provide coverage, so be sure to check your plan details.

Dr. Rodrigues provides:

  • Biomechanical Assessment/diagnosis paperwork

  • Receipt of purchase (patient pays upfront)

  • Manufacturing report (provided by orthotic company)

Patient must provide (if required by your insurance company):

  • Medical doctor prescription

A doctor’s prescription is required for all compression socks to be eligible for insurance coverage. This is due to the medical-grade compression rating, which is prescribed based on a specific “mmHg” number provided by your MD (similar to a blood pressure reading).

  2. Paperwork for Custom Fit – I’ll provide all documentation needed for your insurance submission.

  3. Upfront Payment – Patients pay at the time of ordering; reimbursement can be pursued through insurance if you have coverage.

Pregnancy Braces & Support Belts

Pregnancy belly braces are designed to provide gentle, targeted support for your growing belly, pelvis, and lower back — helping to reduce discomfort and improve mobility as your body changes. These braces can help relieve pressure on the lumbar spine, support pelvic stability, and improve posture during daily activities, making movement more comfortable through every stage of pregnancy.

The Process:
Your fitting appointment will include measurements to ensure the brace fits comfortably and provides the right level of support for your needs. We’ll review how to wear it correctly and when to use it for maximum benefit.

Benefits:

  • Pelvic stability and support

  • Lower back (lumbar) pain relief

  • Gentle lift for the abdomen to reduce pressure and strain

  • Improved posture and mobility

  • Comfort during walking, standing, or daily activities

Pricing:
Pregnancy belly braces typically range from $50 to $200, depending on the style and level of support.

Insurance Coverage:
Patients should check with their insurance provider for coverage details, as policies vary. Some plans may require a prescription for reimbursement.

TENS Machines

A TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) machine is a small, portable device that uses gentle electrical pulses to help manage pain, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. It can be a valuable tool for managing discomfort between chiropractic visits and supporting your treatment plan at home.

Benefits of TENS Therapy:

  • Provides drug-free pain relief for acute and chronic conditions

  • Helps relax tight or overworked muscles

  • Supports injury recovery and reduces inflammation

  • Can be used for a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, arthritis, and sports-related injuries

How It Works:
Electrodes are placed on the skin over the area of discomfort. The device delivers low-level electrical impulses that stimulate the nerves, blocking pain signals and encouraging the release of endorphins, your body’s natural painkillers.

Use at Home:
I can help you select a TENS machine that fits your needs and guide you on safe and effective use. This includes where to place the pads, how long to use the device, and what settings are best for your condition.

Pricing & Coverage:
Pricing varies depending on the model, but most home-use TENS units are available online. Some insurance plans may cover the cost under a Health Spending Account (HSA) or under medical devices, but coverage varies, it’s important to check your plan details.
