Custom Foot Orthotics (page3)

Why do I need orthotics?
Imbalance of the bones in the feet can result in abnormal foot motion (over pronation). This can impair foot function, which can result in abnormal rotation of the legs and sometimes affects the knees, hips or back, causing pain and discomfort. If we combine these tremendous forces with the need for precise balance, we can see how small structural changes in the foot can make a significant difference. Orthotics help to improve those structural changes.

How long will my Foot Orthotic Last?
Usually between 12 to 18 months.

Does it take time to get used to orthotics?
Your feet need time to adjust to the correct biomechanical (walking) position. Orthotics should be used gradually to begin with. During the first 48 hours of use, use the orthotics for approximately 3-4 hours. Afterwards, it is recommended you use the orthotics for 6-8 hours at a time. In the second week of use, the orthotics can be worn all day.
