Custom-made orthotics are specifically designed shoe inserts tailored to an individual's unique foot structure and needs. They play a significant role in treating plantar fasciitis, a common condition caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, a thick band of tissue connecting the heel bone to the toes, causing heel pain. These orthotics provide targeted support and cushioning, helping to redistribute pressure across the feet, reduce strain on the plantar fascia, and correct abnormal foot mechanics that contribute to the condition. By improving alignment and stability, custom orthotics can alleviate pain, enhance comfort, and promote healing as part of a comprehensive treatment program. In addition to wearing orthotics, treatment for plantar fasciitis may include stretching exercises, anti-inflammatory medications, and proper footwear. Consistent use of orthotics can prevent recurrence and provide long-term relief. If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, it is suggested that you consult a podiatrist who can design orthotics suited to your specific needs.
