Plantar Fasciitis: Do you need Orthapaedic Foot Support?
If you are suffering with a common condition such as fallen arches, plantar fasciitis or bunions, you may find that you benefit from using orthopaedic foot support, which can involve custom inserts or insoles that are designed specifically to fit your feet and your shoes.
What Can Orthopaedic Foot Support Do For You?
Relieve pressure. If you are living with a foot condition such as flat feet, or fallen arches, you will be feeling pain as a result of the uneven weight distribution and lack of support. If the foot is unable to support itself naturally, because the arch has collapsed, a custom insert can provide the support you lack and reduce the pain you feel.
Ease stress. Conditions like plantar fasciitis require rest while healing of the soft tissues in the foot repair. Plantar fasciitis is often a result of overtraining, and causes pain when the plantar fascia, which joins the toes to the heel, becomes inflamed or torn. Orthopaedic foot supports can relieve the stress on the ligament and support the foot while it heals.
Offer comfort If you have developed bunions or hammer toes, often the result of crushing toes together in shoes with a narrow toe box, you may find that your pain is significantly reduced with the use of custom orthotics, which offer cushioning and support to the damaged area. An insert that is especially designed for you can take the unique shape of your feet into account, and therefore can accommodate any deformities that have developed
