Heel pain

Heel pain can stem from various conditions, including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinitis, heel spurs, and fat pad atrophy. Custom orthotics can help by providing targeted support, correcting foot alignment, and redistributing pressure to alleviate strain on the heel.

There are different types of custom orthotics:

  • Rigid orthotics: Made from plastic or carbon fiber, these help control foot motion and provide strong support.

  • Semi-rigid orthotics: Offer a balance between support and flexibility, ideal for athletes or active individuals.

If your heel pain is due to plantar fasciitis, custom orthotics can support your arch and cushion the heel pad, reducing inflammation.
