Hey Tom!
Orthotics can be prescribed by a podiatrist/orthopedic doctor but are expensive and depending on your diagnosis will determine if covered by a health plan, if you have one. You can look at any of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield medical policies about orthotics just to get some understanding.
Because you stated one leg is slightly shorter than the other, you have a good chance of getting benefits with a health plan, if I recall correctly.
