What is an orthotic? An Orthotic is any
artificial item attached to a part of ones body that alters the motion and bio-mechanics
of that particular body part. As it applies to the foot, it is an item that
changes the function of ones gait to improve function and also to relieve
areas of pain and discomfort. Anyone experiencing any of the following
problems can benefit from foot orthotics: fallen arches, pronation of the
foot, heel pain, limb length discrepancy, metatarsal drop or pain, cavus or high
arch feet, supination, posterior tibial dysfunction, calluses or lesions, foot
fatigueand general footpain. Foot orthotics are used by the
vast majority of athletes (weekend included) to increase performance.
How do I wear my orthotics? How do I break
in my orthotic?Your new custom
foot orthotics will come with wearing instructions. If you have not worn foot
inserts or custom orthotics before, we suggest gradually breaking in your new
orthotics: one hour the first day, two hours the second day, three hours the
third day, etc. If at any time you experience discomfort, remove your orthotics
from your shoes and try again the next day. If you still continue to have pain,
stop wearing your orthotics and contact us. Sometimes an orthotic can create a different
weight bearing feeling in your shoes. This is perfectly normal and any
uncomfortable feeling you should encounter should disappear in time. Your feet
are simply adjusting to the realignment resulting from you new foot orthotics. Remove
your shoe's insoles while wearing your orthotics.
