Plantar heel discomfort often alters the way individuals walk, placing strain on other areas of the body and diminishing overall mobility. Tailored foot supports have shown promising outcomes in addressing these changes. After consistent use for one month, many users experience both less pain and more ease in movement. These custom devices help realign foot motion, leading to more natural step patterns and better control during walking. Improvements are not just felt, but also observed in the way time and space are used with each step, factors critical to efficient gait. Restoring balance and reducing discomfort through orthotic support can significantly improve daily activity levels. If you are struggling with lingering heel pain and altered movement, it is suggested you see a podiatrist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

What are Custom Orthotics?

Custom orthotics refer to custom inserts designed for placement in different shoe types, including athletic and formal footwear, with the purpose of alleviating a spectrum of foot-related problems such as flat feet, heel pain, and overall foot discomfort. These inserts are instrumental in providing relief and comfort for a diverse range of foot conditions, including heel pain, and can also act as a proactive approach to injury prevention. 

Medical Grade Shoe Inserts: 

A diverse array of shoe inserts is available for addressing foot pain, heel discomfort, and minor issues. For instance, you can place arch supports in your shoes to rectify overarched or flat feet, and gel and cushioned insoles are frequently chosen for the comfort and relief they provide from foot and heel pain by reducing pressure.
