Are your Custom Orthotics Outdated?
Are your Custom Orthotics Outdated?
Four simple tips to check the health of your Orthotics- HealthMax Physiotherapy
Orthotics that are worn-out, torn, or damaged can affect the main purpose that they aim to achieve. Your feet have a direct impact on your entire body. Orthotics that are in good condition help to restore the normal balance and alignment of your body by gently correcting foot abnormalities.
There are some simple checks that you can do to determine if your Othotics need to be replaced.
- The life span of your orthotics depend on how often they were worn and your daily activities, but typically range from 1 to 4 years. It is recommended that orthotics that were moderately used be replaced every 1 to 2 year
- Are your orthotics suddenly feeling uncomfortable and causing pain after you have worn them for a long time? If so, it may be a sign that they may need to be replaced.
- Visually inspect your orthotics, if there is any signs of damage in the hard plastic or in the arch support contact our clinic so we can access it.
- Visually examine your shoes for signs of uneven wear. Orthotics help to alight your feet. Uneven wear of your shoes may be an indication that your orthotics are no longer working and need replacement.
If you have any questions, please call us at 416-431-4000 for a consultation. Our doctors will be happy to look at your orthotics and determine if they need to be replaced.
