Heel Spurs Overview
Heel spurs are abnormal bony growths which occur at the heel bone (calcaneus) and can be found at the back of the heel or under the heel. The treatment of choice for helping heel spurs is arch supports or foot orthotics. Depending upon the initial condition that caused your heel spurs, your orthotics will be designed to treat this issue as well.
Heel Spur Treatment Options
A heel spur can cause extreme heel pain while walking, standing or with a sudden action such as a jump. Individuals who have high arches or flat feet are more prone to developing a heel spur. If either flat feet or high arches are causing your heel spur, your doctor may prescribe foot orthotics or arch supports. Foot orthotics (arch supports) help to distribute your weight more evenly upon impact and may cushion your heel to help reduce the pain you are experiencing.
Arch Supports/Foot Orthotics: Over The Counter or Custom?
Arch Supports or orthotics are being used more and more commonly to treat a variety of conditions, including heel spurs, overpronation, metatarsalgia, and for plantar fasciitis treatment.There are two main kinds of arch supports. 1) Over the counter footbeds. (Also known as off-the-shelf arch supports or foot orthotics) 2) Custom-made shoe inserts. (Also called custom arch supports or custom foot orthotics)
Planta Fasciitis Overview
Plantar Fasciitis is the inflammation and irritation of the thick fibrous band of tissue that extends from the heel to the toes. High arches, flat feet, overpronation, and further conditions can result in plantar fasciitis. The most effective long term plantar fasciitis treatment is the use of arch supports or foot orthotics. Foot orthotics will work towards helping distribute the weight more evenly and keeping the foot in a position that takes strain away from the plantar fascia.
Overpronation: Arch Supports (Footbeds) Required?
The term overpronation is used to describe an excess amount of pronation and is usually treated with arch supports, otherwise known as footbeds. Pronation is the movement of the foot that includes an inward rolling motion that causes flattening of the arch of the foot and often causes foot arch pain. Foot orthotics (arch supports) control the position of the foot and work towards correcting the overpronation issue.
