Before delving into orthotics, let's briefly discuss plantar fasciitis and how it patients. Plantar fasciitis is a common foot condition that causes inflammation and heel pain. The plantar fascia is a thick band of tissue (ligament) that connects the heel bone (calcaneus) to the ball of the foot (metatarsals). The pain is typically felt in the heel or arch of the foot and is often most pronounced in the morning or after long periods of inactivity.
Orthotics, also known as shoe inserts or shoe insoles, are specifically designed devices that provide support and alignment to the feet. They play a crucial role in the treatment of plantar fasciitis by reducing stress on the plantar fascia and promoting proper foot mechanics and gait. Orthotics are available in a couple forms, including over-the-counter (OTC) inserts and custom orthotics.
OTC orthotics are an easily accessible option for patients seeking relief from plantar fasciitis. These inserts are available at specialty stores in Marietta and surrounding cities, making them a convenient choice for many patients. While OTC inserts may not offer the same level of customization as custom orthotics, they can still provide some pain relief by providing arch support, cushioning, and shock absorption.
