Plantar Fasciitis Insoles

What is heel spur?

Heel spur is a calcification of the tendon plate at the heel bone. Heel spur is most common in people aged between 40 and 60. With heel spur, you feel a sharp pain under your heel. You experience pain when you stand and walk for a long time. You often feel the pain in the morning. When you rest again, the pain should gradually subside on its own. Heel spur is more common in women than in men.

What are heel spur orthotics?

Heel spur orthotics are insoles that help against heel spur and other heel pain. They offer support to the foot and provide adequate cushioning. The insoles can be worn during all activities, such as during work, but also while playing sports, for example.

Why should you wear the insoles?

Heel spur is mainly caused by overuse. To combat this, wearing orthotics is highly recommended. Heel spur orthotics provide support for the foot, reducing the tractive force on the tendon plate when you walk or stand. This puts less strain on the tendon plate and gives it a chance to recover. The orthotics also have good cushioning, providing more comfort when walking.

What are the benefits of wearing heel spur orthotics?

Heel spur orthotics not only provide relief for your painful heels, but also have the added bonus that back, shoulder and neck pain can also disappear. Because the orthotics offer such support to the feet, the body's posture can change along with it and back, shoulder and neck pain will also disappear. Note that the full recovery of heel spur really does require several weeks. Preferably, keep wearing the soles even after the symptoms have disappeared.

What should you pay attention to when buying?

The range of insoles for heel spur is incredibly large. There are different types in several price categories. There are a few points to look out for when looking for insoles.

• Make sure the insoles are cushioning.
• Choose an insole with a cup. This distributes pressure over the entire heel.
• If your feet are slightly saggy, choose an insole with a slight elevation under the forefoot. This is also called a pad.

Give your feet and body some time to get used to the insoles. In the beginning, wear the insoles for 1 to 2 hours a day and gradually build up the time. After a week, you will be able to wear them all day without any problems.
