Relieve Foot Pain without Surgery with Insoles

It’s no surprise that many people suffer through foot pain daily. People are constantly on their feet and running around. Some of the shoes that are sold today provide little to no support which in turn creates foot pain, if not more than you already are experiencing. In order to effectively try and target that pain, doctors recommend being casted for insoles. Whether you’re a very active person or you’re not as much; insoles have different styles for everyone. Not many people know that these insoles are a non-surgical way to relieve some of the pain, if not all of it overtime. These insoles are custom made and mold right to every curve of your foot. Insoles are not to be confused with “shoe inserts.” The difference is that shoe inserts are bought over the counter and not perfectly molded for your feet, while the insoles are usually prescribed by a doctor and crafted specially for your feet. These insoles, also known as orthotics, provide the support that your feet needs.

Depending on the foot condition will affect how long after the patient will feel relief. The most common conditions of foot pain are caused by high arches of the foot, bunions, and arthritis. Even though foot pain is more common among older adults; children and young adults are also great candidates for orthotics to provide shock-absorption and support to cancel out any future problems. The pricing of custom made orthotics are a bit on the expensive side, but doctors highly recommend getting them as an alternative to surgery. Some insurances are also known for covering the full price of the orthotics depending on the diagnosis of the foot. Orthotics are portable and can be used in all different kinds of shoes so you will be getting the most out of your money by using them in a variety of shoes. Depending on how much you use the orthotics will alter how fast they get worn out, however, orthotics are known for lasting quite a while.
