How often should you visit our podiatry office to recast your feet and update your foot orthotics?
-We recommend having your orthotics evaluated yearly, to check on wear, and be replaced every 3 years.
- For pediatric orthotics, patients should follow up every 6 months, to monitor their development, and have their orthotics replaced after they grow 2 shoe sizes.
-Custom orthotics are designed to withstand wear and tear from standing and walking but using them on a daily basis will inevitably result in damage over time.
-Getting casted for orthotics is painless and only takes a few minutes of your time.
-Orthotics are recommended because they provide cushioning and support as they redistribute the pressure your feet experience with everyday activities. This is very helpful if you have arthritis, or you stand for significant periods during a workday.
-Orthotics help prevent pressure ulcers and other foot abnormalities related to diabetes. They also help alleviate pain, balance your body, and align your spine, reducing the risk of developing problems in your ankles, knees, back, and hips.......Please call us at 708-429-1377 if you’re interested in making an appointment with Dr Brian Chiaramonte
