Too many people live with daily foot pain. Foot pain is common, but it is not normal. Research is clear on the fact that the use of orthopaedic foot supports will reduce foot pain. If you experience foot pain on a regular basis, you should try using orthopaedic foot supports.
Orthopaedic foot supports are an easy fix. There are no side effects or risks; you just wear orthopaedic shoes, either alone or with orthotic inserts, and you will likely see a marked improvement in your pain levels. It is a simple, straightforward solution for foot pain. Orthopaedic foot supports can provide pain relief to patients who experience a number of different foot problems, including plantar fasciitis, bunions, hammer toe, fallen arches, and many other conditions.
So what type of orthopaedic foot support is right for you? That depends on the type and severity of your foot condition as well as your gait and the shape of your foot. First, talk to your doctor. Whether you have discussed your foot condition with your doctor many times or never before, your doctor should be involved in choosing your course of treatment.
Your doctor may recommend that you have x-rays or other testing done in order to rule out more severe conditions. In many cases, doctors recommend that you have gait analysis performed or get fitted for custom orthotic devices or custom arch supports. In that case, you should visit Foot Solutions store in your area, where you can have gait analysis performed and be fitted for custom arch supports.
A foot condition known as fallen arches is a common source of foot pain. This condition is also known as flat feet. If you have fallen arches, it means that the arch of the foot has collapsed. The sole of the foot has lost its support, and it now comes into contact with the ground rather than being raised off the ground. Fallen arches can also cause strain on the knees, lower back, and legs. However, using orthopaedic foot supports can significantly reduce pain levels related to fallen arches.
Another common source of foot pain is plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a band of tissue that runs along the bottom of the foot and attaches the heel to the toes. Plantar fasciitis is a condition in which that band of tissue becomes inflamed. It is common for the tissue to develop small tears and become inflamed.
Normally, the tissue heals on its own. However, over time, the tissue can lose its ability to repair itself, and the tears can linger. People who have high arches are more likely to develop plantar fasciitis, as are people who have had multiple injuries or repetitive strain to the feet. If you have plantar fasciitis, you can greatly benefit from the use of orthopaedic foot supports. Orthopaedic foot supports help to relieve the stress on the plantar fascia and give your feet the support that they need.
People who have diabetes are particularly prone to foot problems, including a complication known as peripheral neuropathy. It is especially important for diabetics to take good care of their feet. Use orthopaedic foot supports to protect your feet and prevent complications of diabetes.
