I have a personal interest in this topic. I make a large part of my income on foot/low back pain.
Because of that, you should really do your homework before you let anyone make you a set of orthotics.
IMHO - very few chiropractors have had the appropriate training to make these things correctly. You need to find a chiropractor, podiatrist, or orthotist who has had advanced training in diagnosing your problem, then fabricating an impression of "YOUR" foot type (from which the orthotic is made) writing the prescription and has the knowledge to adjust them if the orthotic does not at first help the problem.
The very best practicioner uses computerized gait analysis prior to even suggesting orthotics. PM me if you need a reerence in your area.
At all costs, stay away from those stores/infomericials/tv and radio ads that propose to fit you over the internet or in a store. I can't name names because they are all very litigous (sp?). You can get one of their "inserts" on the net for $14.99, not the $250 the store will charge you.
Search the net like you search TGM, and LOOK, LOOK, LOOK!!!!
