Break-In Period For Your Type of Orthotic

The normal break-in period for this type of orthotic is 7 to 10 days before the patient can expect to be able to wear them full time and experience some relief of their painful symptoms.  If you're not having any difficulty during this break-in period, ProRehab certainly encourages you to wear them as much as you can.
  
IF YOU DO NOT BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE RELIEF FROM YOUR ORTHOTICS OR HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO BUILD UP WEARING THEM FULL TIME WITHIN 10 TO 14 DAYS, YOU NEED TO CONTACT THE PHYSICAL THERAPY OFFICE AND SET UP A RETURN VISIT WITH THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST IN ORDER TO HAVE THEM MODIFIED.  DO NOT CONTACT YOUR REFERRING PHYSICIAN DIRECTLY IF YOU ARE MERELY HAVING DIFFICULTY ADJUSTING TO THE ORTHOTIC DEVICES.

The physical therapist who casted you for the orthotics will refer you back to the doctor who initially prescribed them if he/she feels that your condition has not responded to the devices.  Please do not attempt to modify the orthotic device yourself.  The physical therapist will also discuss the proper shoe gear for work, sports, walking, etc.  ProRehab's physical therapists are experts in shoe fit and orthotics, and if you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office.  

The orthotic devices are safe to clean with a damp cloth or any type of household cleaner.  They should be allowed to "air dry" rather than being dried wit any type of heat source. 

   All orthotic devices are custom
    manufactured by ProRehab
