Footmaxx Prescription Orthotics in Moorhead, MN
Not an arch support off a shelf. A Footmaxx orthotic is made by a lab from a 3D scan of your own feet, to a prescription Dr. Bekkum writes after examining you.
Every Orthotic Is Made for One Person
Two people with "flat feet" rarely need the same insert. One may need the heel held steady. The other may need pressure taken off the ball of the foot. A prescription orthotic is built for the problem your scan and exam actually show.
Footmaxx orthotics
- Made for your feet only
- Firm, flexible and durable
- Corrections chosen by your clinician
- Built to control the motion causing strain
Over-the-counter insoles
- Standard sizes and arch heights
- The wrong correction can add strain
- Cushion the symptom, not the cause
- Wear out faster

From Scan to Custom Orthotic in 4 Steps
No foam box and no plaster cast.
1. Exam
Your history, a hands-on foot and ankle exam, and a look at how you walk and move.
2. 3D foot scan
Both feet are scanned at rest and standing. The change between the two shows how your foot collapses under your weight.
3. Prescription
Dr. Bekkum chooses the shell, corrections and cover, and sends the prescription to the Footmaxx lab.
4. Fitting
Your orthotics arrive in about 4 weeks. We fit them and show you how to break them in.
Why a scan under load matters
A foam impression captures your foot at rest. Pain usually comes from what your foot does under your full weight. The Footmaxx 3D scan captures both, so the correction is based on how your foot actually moves.
We also check your knees, hips and posture with a Kinetisense 3D movement scan, because a foot problem often shows up as pain higher in the chain. See Custom Orthotics for how the foot drives the rest of the chain, and what the research shows.
Common reasons we prescribe
What Footmaxx Orthotics Are Used For
Orthotics work best as one part of a plan, alongside joint care and exercise. We re-scan to show what changed.
Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
Heel cushions, horseshoe pads and arch fill to reduce strain on the heel. For heel pain, we pair orthotics with stretching, joint care or shockwave.
Flat feet and rolling in
Flanges, arch fill and rearfoot posting, set to what your scan shows.
High arches
Full-contact support and cushion to spread pressure across a stiff foot.
Morton's neuroma
A neuroma pad spreads the bones in the ball of the foot to ease pressure on the nerve.
Bunions
Big-toe joint accommodations to reduce load and daily pain.
Knee, hip and back pain
When your scan shows the foot rolling in and turning the leg, posting can change the load on the joints above.
Shin splints
Rearfoot control to limit the rolling that twists the shin.
Diabetic and numb feet
Soft, pressure-spreading diabetic designs. Burning or numb feet? See neuropathy treatment.
Overuse injuries in athletes
Sport-specific shells and impact-absorbing covers for high training loads.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Footmaxx orthotics and store-bought arch supports?
Store-bought arch supports are made in standard sizes and arch heights. Footmaxx orthotics are made by a lab from a 3D scan of your own feet, using a prescription Dr. Bekkum writes after a hands-on exam. He chooses the shell, the corrections and the top cover for your foot and your activity.
Where can I get Footmaxx orthotics near Fargo, ND?
At Integrix Health, 22 6th St N in Moorhead, MN, about a 5 to 10 minute drive from downtown Fargo and West Fargo. Dr. Paul M. Bekkum, DC, CCEP scans, prescribes and fits Footmaxx orthotics at the clinic.
How long does it take to get Footmaxx orthotics?
About 4 weeks from the scan. The Footmaxx lab makes your orthotics from your prescription, then you come back to the clinic to have them fitted.
Does insurance pay for Footmaxx orthotics?
It depends on your plan, and many plans do not cover orthotics. Prescription orthotics are usually an eligible HSA or FSA expense. We give you an itemized receipt and go over your costs before anything is ordered.
How long do Footmaxx orthotics last?
With daily wear, often 2 to 3 years, sometimes longer. Heavy sport use wears them faster. Top covers can be replaced. We suggest a re-scan if your pair is over 2 years old or your weight, activity or pain has changed.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly. Dr. Bekkum does the exam, the scan and the prescription at the Moorhead clinic.
