What Causes Heel Pain?... And Why is Your Heel Pain Not Getting Better?

If you’ve got foot pain, stiffness or an ache – it’s very tempting to think that it’s nothing, that it will go away on its own. Or, you might pass it off as having just over done it, or that it’s just a “ache” or a bit of stiffness that “everyone” your age suffers from…

There’s no obvious reason why it happened – but it doesn’t seem to be shifting and its been there a good while now.

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone – and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, long term foot pain is one of THE most common problems that we see in Foot & Ankle Associates of Southern NH.

What Are Orthotics Used For?

Foot Pain

Orthotics are used to address all types of foot injuries including:

  • Plantar Fasciitis

  • Heel Pain

  • Metatarsalgia

  • Pain in the ball of the foot

  • Fallen arches

  • Heel Spurs

  • Walking / gait problems

Ankle Pain

Orthotics can be used to address injuries in the ankle joint and tissues around it such as:

  • Achilles tendonitis

  • Ankle hypermobility

  • Ligament strains

Back Pain and Knee Pain

Orthotics help to correct imbalances in the movement patterns of the feet.

Correction of these imbalances can help to improve the function of other areas in the body, particularly the knee joints and the low back.

Arthritis

The improvement in foot movement and the cushioning and support that orthotics provide can help to offload other joints.

This can make a big difference if you are struggling with knee or hip arthritis, making walking easier and less painful.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthotics

What are orthotics?

Orthotics are specialised devices designed to support and align the feet, ankles, and lower limbs. They are commonly used to improve foot function, alleviate pain, and provide better stability.

What conditions or problems can orthotics help with?

Orthotics can help with a variety of conditions including flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, bunions, achilles tendonitis, shin splints, and overpronation or supination of the feet.

How do orthotics work?

Orthotics work by providing support, cushioning, and realigning the feet and lower limbs. They can help redistribute pressure, correct foot mechanics, improve stability, and reduce excessive motion that may cause pain or discomfort.

Can orthotics be used for both adults and children?

Yes, orthotics can be used for both adults and children. However, the specific type of orthotics and treatment approach may vary depending on the individual's age and condition.

Are orthotics custom-made for each individual?

Orthotics can be either custom-made or prefabricated. Custom-made orthotics are specifically crafted to fit an individual's unique foot shape and address their specific needs. Prefabricated orthotics are pre-made and come in standard sizes but can still provide some benefits.

How long do I need to wear orthotics?

The duration of orthotic use depends on the individual's condition and treatment goals. Some people may need to wear orthotics consistently, while others may only require them during certain activities or for a specific period of time. Your healthcare provider will guide you on the appropriate duration.

Will orthotics cure my condition?

Orthotics are not a cure for underlying conditions, but they can help manage symptoms and improve foot function. They are often used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include exercises, footwear modifications, and other interventions.

Can I wear orthotics with any type of shoes?

Orthotics can be worn with a wide range of shoes, including athletic shoes, casual footwear, and some dress shoes. However, certain shoe styles may have limited space or insufficient support for accommodating orthotics, so it's important to consider footwear compatibility.

Are there different types of orthotics available?

Yes, there are various types of orthotics available, including arch supports, insoles, heel cups, and full-length orthotics. The type recommended will depend on the individual's condition and specific needs.

How often should I replace my orthotics?

The lifespan of orthotics varies depending on factors such as usage, activity level, and wear and tear. On average, custom-made orthotics may last 2-5 years, while prefabricated ones may have a shorter lifespan. Regular assessments by a healthcare professional can help determine if replacement is necessary.

Can I wear orthotics during physical activities or sports?

Yes, orthotics can be worn during physical activities and sports. In fact, they can provide added support, stability, and shock absorption, reducing the risk of injuries and enhancing performance. Consult with your healthcare provider for specific recommendations based on your activity level and needs.

Do orthotics have any side effects?

When properly fitted and used, orthotics generally do not cause significant side effects. However, some individuals may experience temporary discomfort or adjustment periods as their feet adapt to the new support. If any persistent issues arise, it's best to consult with your healthcare provider.

Will orthotics make my feet weaker?

Orthotics are designed to support and align the feet, but they do not inherently weaken the muscles. In fact, they can help improve foot function, which may ultimately contribute to better muscle strength and stability over time.

Can orthotics be used as a substitute for surgery?

In some cases, orthotics can be used as a conservative and non-invasive alternative to surgery. They may help alleviate symptoms and improve foot mechanics, reducing the need for surgical intervention. However, the suitability of orthotics as an alternative to surgery depends on the specific condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Please note that while these answers provide general information, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and recommendations based on your specific condition and needs.
