After you have been fitted with custom orthotics, your doctor, orthotist, or physical therapist will guide you in 5 areas of orthotic care:
Fitting and initial use
Comfort and adjustment
Foot hygiene and cleanliness
Shoe selection and compatibility
Gradual adaptation and follow-up
The goal is to help you acclimatize with your new foot contraption and make it as easy for you as possible to include it in your daily routine. Your PT will guide you on how to wear it, clean it, and maintain it.
You are encouraged to communicate to your PT if you feel any discomfort or adjustment issues so they can be addressed immediately.
