Orthopedic insoles can repair "long and short feet"。
Five common foot problems can use orthopedic insoles：
1. Flat feet
Cause of formation: It is caused by the laxity of the ligaments of the foot. Severe flat feet can cause walking fatigue and foot pain. There may be swelling and tenderness in the center of the sole and the back of the instep, and even secondary back pain and hip and knee joint pain.
treatment: custom medical orthopedic insoles, or wear shoes with strong heels, to perform toe extension and flexion training, including toe walking, Achilles tendon stretching training, etc.
2. Thumb valgus
Causes: Congenital developmental abnormalities, or wearing pointed shoes for a long time, the toes are affected by external pressure, and the thumb is forced to turn out. Compression will accelerate the formation of thumb valgus.
Treatment: The best way to prevent is to wear a pair of suitable shoes, such as choosing shoes with a wide and high toe or shoes with a curved outsole. In the early stages of thumb valgus, soaking the feet in warm water can temporarily relieve the pain. Mild patients can put cotton pads between the first and second toes, and wear plastic orthoses at night to prevent deterioration and correct deformities, such as toe pads, night splints, and toe bandages. If the pain is really unbearable and it seriously affects daily life, joint correction surgery is required.
3. Plantar Fasciitis
Causes: Plantar fascia is a wide-band-shaped fan-shaped fascia tissue on the sole of the foot. It is a good support for the arch of the foot. However, excessive pulling of the fascia can cause abnormal deformation or inflammation, such as excessive exercise, standing for too long, Wearing inappropriate shoes for a long time, etc.
Treatment: Wearing functional shoes or insoles with elasticity and shock absorption to support the arch of the foot can relieve the patient's pain, and wearing therapeutic insoles can also correct other abnormal biomechanics of the foot. Other common treatments include stretching exercises, try yoga's muscle-lifting exercises, and traction exercises on the plantar fascia.
4. Heel spur
Cause of formation: It is the phenomenon of bone hyperplasia caused by the long-term traction of the calcaneus bone by the plantar fascia. Most bone spurs have no obvious pain, and some have chronic pain. At present, there are many medicines for treating bone spurs, but there is no specific medicine that can dissolve or eliminate bone spurs.
Treatment: Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and participate in physical exercises appropriately. If the pain is unbearable, you can customize the heel ring that redistributes the heel force, or the heel free insole to reduce the pain in the affected area.
5. Both lower limbs are not equal in length (long and short feet)
Causes of formation: It is caused by the developmental delay of one lower limb or the healing of the shortening of the fracture, and some are caused by the deformity of the hip, knee, and ankle joints.
Treatment: Since the lumbar spine of normal people has a certain compensation function for the unequal length of the lower limbs, if the height difference between the feet is less than 1 cm, the treatment can be temporarily omitted. For patients with a difference of more than 1 cm, long-term walking and standing can cause pelvic tilt, scoliosis, lameness, fatigue, and low back pain. They need heightening treatment to make their feet equal.
Fill height less than 1cm: can be used in shoes with thick heel and thin forefoot orthopedic insoles; fill height 1~3cm: customize the height of the shoe or adjust the opposite sole; fill height 3~7cm: need to be customized Internal high shoes.
