Whatever type of orthotic device you need, whether a splint or brace to support bones or a joint, or simply an orthotic shoe device to provide better support and balance for the foot, you will need to make sure it fits properly. The following steps can help you determine if your orthotic device is right for you and providing the support it should.
-Step 1: Unless you are using an orthotic device only to provide very temporary support to a minor injury or problem, you will need to have your injury or issue evaluated. Your device will then be properly fit by a doctor or other healthcare professional. If you think you have a broken or fractured bone, a sprain that is not getting better, or any long-term bone or joint problem, and may need such a device, make an appointment right away.
-Step 2: After your doctor has fit the device, make sure you aren’t experiencing any undue pain. While your new device may take some getting used to, it should not cause new and lasting discomfort. If you’re experiencing pinching, pressure, or sore muscles, talk with your doctor, as your device may need adjusting.
-Step 3: If you still aren’t sure if your orthotic device is providing the support or realignment it should, take another look at whether it is fitting properly, and isn’t too loose, too tight, not properly located or aligned, or slipping too easily. If any of these are true, you may still require adjustments.
Orthotic devices are very good at correcting some types of injuries. For example, a minor correction using an orthotic wedge may reduce the risk of tendonitis by helping to provide proper support for flat feet. Other injuries, though, may require further therapy or even surgery in order to heal fully. Consult with your doctor to determine a course of treatment right for you.
