Sole-lution podiatry deals with orthotic issues on a daily basis and can help to resolve the matter.
Who needs orthotics?
- Plantar Fasciitis (morning foot pain),
- Foot arthritis,
- Diabetes
- Metatarsalgia (pains at the ball of the foot)
- Patellofemoral knee pain
- Shin splints.
Apart from certain conditions, there are a couple easy methods which can be conducted at home to determine the need of Orthotics. Stepping onto a towel (preferably blue) with damp feet and assessing the outline, if there is a gentle curve from the ball to the heel, that’s good. However if the curve is deep or the ball does not join up to the heel, then you have high arches, a treatable condition with Orthotics.
