The Role of Orthotics in Managing Plantar Fasciitis

If you have plantar fasciitis, you already know how the constant foot pain can keep you from enjoying your life. Fortunately, your podiatrist can provide you with orthotics to help ease the pain caused by plantar fasciitis. The podiatrists at Connecticut Foot Care Centers offer a full range of podiatry services, including orthotics to treat plantar fasciitis and other foot conditions. They have several convenient office locations in Rocky Hill, Newington, Middletown, Glastonbury, Bristol, and Kensington, CT.

How Orthotics Can Help with Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is caused by inflammation of the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue running across the heel. This common condition results in pain on the heel and side of the foot.

Standing and walking on hard surfaces for long periods is a main cause of plantar fasciitis. Orthotics can help absorb the shock of these activities, easing the burden on your feet.

Plantar fasciitis can also be caused by overpronating or rolling your feet when you walk. Orthotics can provide gait correction to prevent overpronation.

Your risk of developing plantar fasciitis increases if you are carrying excess weight. Orthotics can cushion and support your feet to relieve pressure on your heels and arches.

Orthotics are a prescribed medical device, so most medical insurance programs cover them. Orthotics are an inexpensive, non-invasive treatment option that provides a wide range of benefits. Consider that orthotics can:

• Provide foot, ankle, heel, and arch support
• Help correct poor foot alignment and poor posture
• Improve balance to help you avoid falls and tripping
