Do's and Don'ts

Do's

  • Do wear your orthotics consistently

    This helps your body adjust and maximize the benefits.

  • Do bring your orthotics to follow-up appointments

    It helps us assess how they're working for you.

  • Do break them in gradually

    Start with a few hours a day and build up.

  • Do communicate any discomfort

    Adjustments can often improve fit and performance.

  • Do choose proper footwear

    Orthotics are most effective when paired with supportive shoes.

  • Do keep them clean and dry

    Proper care extends their lifespan and prevents odors.

Don'ts

  • Don't ignore pain or pressure spots

    This could signal a poor fit or need for adjustment.

  • Don't use orthotics not prescribed to you

    Custom devices are made for your body, not someone else's.

  • Don't expect instant results

    Relief can take days or weeks as your body adapts.

  • Don't skip assessments

    Your condition or needs may change over time.

  • Don't wear damaged orthotics

    Cracked or flattened inserts won't provide proper support.

  • Don't rely solely on orthotics

    Strengthening, stretching, and lifestyle adjustments also matter.
