Wearing Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OF ORTHOTICS

Realign orthotics may take time to adjust to the feet of which the podiatrist/practitioner will provide the guidelines for the initial wearing of the device. You may have to break-in the orthotics by increasing the wearing time by an hour each day. You should be able to wear them full-time after two weeks of usage. Do not play sport in your orthotics until you can wear them comfortably all day. Otherwise, blisters may result.

Slight muscle or knee soreness may occur and should settle within a week. Continued knee pain, leg soreness or blistering may require a review and possible adjustment. You should contact your podiatrist/practitioner.
Deformed or excessively worn shoes should not be worn as they counteract the effect of the orthotics.
Do not attempt to adjust the orthotics yourself – contact your podiatrist/practitioner.
The orthotics can be cleaned with warm soapy water.Caution should be taken when drying. Keep away from intense heat, particularly in the car.
It may have taken years for your problem to develop and symptoms may have been present for some time – orthotics will not cure a problem overnight.
It is recommended that reassessment occur at 6-12 months intervals, this may vary on the condition being treated or when a new and/or different model shoe is purchased.
It is important to maintain contact with your podiatrist when using your orthotics. If you have any concerns contact your podiatrist/practitioner.
