If you have heel spurs, plantar fasciitis, fallen arches or structural problems that cause imbalance, ready made inserts can make your condition worse.
Ready made inserts cause imbalances in your foot in and of themselves. Podiatrists and Physicians know this and you owe it to yourself to see if your foot pain problem requires orthonics, which are insoles molded from a plaster cast of both feet, and are necessary for both feet even if you are having foot problems in just one foot.
Orthonics are made and worn for both feet even if you have foot pain in just one foot. The reason for this is the foot without the pain, could be one of the reasons for the pain in the other foot by causing an imbalance condition among other things.
If your foot pain condition is severe, such as plantar fasciitis, fallen arches or structural problems that cause imbalance, podiatrists or physicians may prescribe and fit you with a pair of orthonics.
The three major treatment goals for plantar fasciitis for example are:
Relative to reducing pressure on the plantar fascia, custom-designed orthonics, made to each patients foot specification as to the type and severity of the foot condition as prescribed by a podiatrist or physician is a critical treatment element to improving your heel pain and/or plantar fasciitis.
In early arthritis, for example, a three year study, part funded by the Arthritis Research Campaign, showed that custom designed orthonics manufactured in a new carbon graphite material corrected a potentially severe deformity around the ankle region of the foot.
The best course of action you can take when Foot Pain begins is to assume the worse possible scenario is beginning and schedule an appointment with a licensed practicing podiatrist, who has a staff of practicing professionals.
Keep in mind that ready-made insoles will not provide balanced arch support, contribute to gait correction, nor cushion your foot effectively. Orthonics as prescribed by a podiatrist or physician is the only way to improve on heel pain and/or plantar fasciitis.
So see your Podiatrist to check out the underlying cause of your foot pain, and if orthonics are recommended by your podiatrist, buy them, they are absolute key to curing plantar fasciitis and most foot problems.
