Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain, with symptoms often worse in the morning or after a period of rest. Custom orthotics can effectively treat plantar fasciitis, but over-the-counter insoles can also provide significant relief. There are many different insoles available, so it’s important to choose the right ones for your needs. Look for insoles that provide arch support and cushioning, and that are made from a durable material. It’s important to wear the insoles in your shoes all day, even when you’re not experiencing pain.
Custom orthotics are more expensive than over-the-counter insoles, but they may provide more relief. Orthotics are made from a mold of your foot, so they are designed to fit your foot perfectly. This can provide more support and cushioning than over-the-counter insoles. Orthotics can also be adjusted to address specific problems, such as overpronation or supination.
