Foot BRacing & ORthotics

Begin by loosening any straps or closures on the brace. Slide your foot into the brace, ensuring it's properly positioned. If there are straps, secure them snugly but not too tight, allowing for comfort and support. Adjust as needed to achieve a comfortable fit that provides stability to the foot.

The duration of wearing a foot brace varies depending on the severity of the condition and the recommendation of your healthcare provider. Generally, it's advisable to wear the brace as directed by your healthcare professional, which may range from a few hours a day to throughout the day, providing necessary support and protection during activities.

A night splint is a specialized device designed to be worn during sleep. It functions by maintaining a gentle stretch on the foot's arch and Achilles tendon, helping to alleviate discomfort associated with conditions like plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.

Night splints effectively alleviate plantar fasciitis and heel pain by gently stretching the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon throughout the night. This consistent stretching promotes healing, reduces morning pain, and alleviates stiffness, facilitating improved comfort and mobility.

Insoles, also known as orthotics, are custom-made or pre-fabricated inserts placed inside shoes to provide support, cushioning, and alignment for the feet, helping alleviate discomfort and improve overall foot health.

The lifespan of insoles or orthotics varies depending on usage, materials, and individual factors. On average, they typically last between 6 months to 2 years before needing replacement, ensuring ongoing support and comfort for your feet.
