Adults

A plantar orthosis is a medically prescribed device designed to help alleviate certain symptoms and to treat a certain number of foot pathologies and deviations.

Possible side effects during your adaptation period:

• Muscle pain affecting your legs, hips and back, and, in certain cases, headaches;
• Joint pain in your feet, legs and back;
• Increase of long-standing pain

We recommend that you progressively get used to wearing your plantar orthoses, i.e.:

• Start with 2 periods of 1 hour on the first day
• On the following days, add 1 hour per period
• Until you get to a full day

During the first month, we also recommend that you refrain from engaging in excessive sports activities while wearing your new orthoses. Also, please note that wearing worn out or warped shoes can hinder the course of your treatment.

If you are experiencing severe or persisting pain while wearing your orthotics, please contact us so that we can make adjustments.

Orthoses maintenance

• Wash your orthoses with a damp cloth and a little soap, if needed.
• If the orthoses have a leather finish, use the appropriate leather care products to clean your orthotics
• Never immerse your orthoses in water.
• Do not expose your orthoses to excessive heat.
• Keep your orthotics out of pets’ reach.
