New brace or prosthetic? Here’s how to make it more comfortable.

Breaking in a new orthotic or prosthetic device can feel like a big transition, physically and emotionally.

If you’re feeling eager to “get back to normal”… we understand that more than you know.

But going slow in the beginning can make all the difference in comfort, skin health, and long-term success.

Here’s a simple break-in guideline to get you started:
• Day 1: Wear 1 hour → remove 1 hour (repeat 3x/day)
• Day 2: Wear 2 hours → remove 1 hour (repeat 3x/day)
• Add 1 hour each day until you're wearing it full-time.

Think of it like breaking in a new pair of shoes - your body needs time to adjust.

If you're dealing with foot drop, neuropathy, stroke recovery, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, or adjusting to a prosthesis, you’re not supposed to figure this alone. Your comfort matters.

We’ll guide you every step, from fit, to footwear, to follow-ups.

Located in Flanders, NJ - serving Morris County, Northern NJ and the Tri-state area.

If you’re wondering what happens during an orthotic device fitting, here’s a simple look at the process.

We fit the orthotic, check alignment and comfort, make small adjustments if necessary, and help you stand or take a few steps so you can feel how it works with your movement.

The goal of every fitting is the same: a comfortable, supportive brace that helps you walk more safely and confidently in your daily life.

You’ll always have time to ask questions and understand how to use your device before you leave. We take the time to make sure it feels right for you.

We help people across North Jersey find the orthotic support they need to improve balance, stability, and overall mobility.

Did you know?

Earlier this year, New Jersey passed S1439/A3856 - a law that requires insurance plans to cover an additional orthotic or prosthetic device when prescribed by your clinician for physical or recreational activities.

For many people, the idea of a sport-specific or activity-specific device felt “out of reach” because insurance wouldn’t cover it. This new law changes that conversation.

If you live in New Jersey and were told in the past that an activity-specific prosthesis or orthosis wasn’t covered, it may be worth revisiting the topic with your orthotist/prosthetist.

👉 Why this matters:
• Supports safe movement, exercise & mobility
• Helps people return to activities they love
• Applies to running, biking, swimming, team sports & more

Always check with your insurance provider to understand your plan’s details and coverage requirements.

When you’ve been walking with foot drop or more specifically, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, like Nancy has, for years, even small movements take effort.

So when Nancy put on her new AFO and felt:

🔹️Better stability
🔹️Ease of walking
🔹️Improved gait
🔹️Safer
🔹️More comfortable

It was what she described as life-changing.

If walking has been feeling harder, heavier, tiring, or unsteady

there are lighter, more supportive options out there.

We’re right here in Flanders and serve patients in Northern NJ and the Tri-state area, helping people with foot drop, charcot-marie-tooth, neuropathy, multiple sclerosis, stroke recovery, and more walk confidently again.

Last month we joined the Walk 4 CMT event in Philadelphia, a gathering of people with CMT, their families, and organizations supporting the Charcot-Marie-Tooth community.

CMT can affect walking, balance, and everyday mobility. Events like this help raise awareness, find treatments, and a cure.

At Prime Ortho, we meet many people who experience things like foot drop, fatigue, or feeling unsteady from conditions like CMT. The right orthotic support can make walking feel more stable and comfortable, so daily life feels easier again.

If mobility has been harder lately, we’re here to help you find support that feels right for you.

Have you ever walked into a medical office and felt like just another name on a list?

That’s the last thing we want you to feel here.

Cory, our certified and licensed clinician in orthotics and prosthetics, said it best:

“You should like the person, like the facility, and like the options you’re given. You should feel comfortable coming back for adjustments and know that you’re being taken care of.”

Getting fit with the right orthotic or prosthetic is important but it’s also important to know you are seeing someone who cares about helping you move better and who is invested in making you feel more confident every day.

If you’re looking for that kind of care, come see us in Flanders.

You see the neighborhood kids getting excited. Costumes are being planned. Decorations are going up.

And you want to be part of it.

But when you’re dealing with foot drop, balance challenges, or a prosthetic that doesn’t feel quite right, even handing out candy or walking your kids around the block can take extra planning.

Will you be able to stand at the door all evening?
Can you safely walk those uneven driveways?
What if you lose your balance in front of everyone?

These are real concerns, and we get it.

That's why we help patients find the orthotic or prosthetic support they need to move confidently, so Halloween can feel like Halloween again.

You deserve to enjoy the season too. Let us help. 🎃
