The
term arch pain (often referred to as arch strain) refers
to an inflammation and/or burning sensation at the arch
of the foot. The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous
tissue located along the bottom surface of the foot,
that runs from the heel to the forefoot. Plantar fasciitis
is caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia,
usually due to over-pronation (flat feet).
The
inflammation caused by the plantar fascia being stretched
away from the heel, often leads to pain in the heel
and arch areas. The pain is often extreme in the morning
when an individual first gets out of bed or after a
prolonged period of rest.The primary cause of an arch
pain is over pronation.
This can be controlled via insoles. People suffering
with arch pain have been forced to live with the pain
no longer have to put up with this condition while standing,
walking or running. View the dr foot insoles range.
Orthotic
Proof Sources and Safety Data.
The use of foot orthotics has been researched and tested
by leading institutions around the world, and is widely
accepted in the medical community. Foot orthotics/ foot
insoles are used in both public and private hospitals
and clinics.
Clinical studies and field research verify the value
of orthotics in preventing and treating arch pain while
improving the structural integrity of the ligaments
and muscles around the ankle. Flexible orthotics control
foot motion without restricting function and creating
compensatory movement in other structures.

Product for Arch Pain
Dr
Foot Work Insoles
Having feet that are flat or
pronated means that the arch of your foot is collapsed
or lowered. This collapsing of the long arch of the
foot can lead to arch pain. Misalignment of the fragile
bones of the feet leads to arthritic pain, ligament
destabilization, tendonitis and severe fasciitis.
Insoles (orthotics) are designed
to raise the arch, realign the foot, reduce pain and
distribute weight evenly which also minimizes strain
to the knees and spine.
Dr Foot's Insoles work wonders
on problem-prone feet. These Insoles are biomechanically
engineered to help relieve arch pain. The contoured
shape supports your feet in two directions, both lengthwise
and across the arch, for maximum relief of pain and
fatigue. The special poron heel cushion built into the
insole helps to reduce shock absorption. Dr Foot Insoles
are engineered to combat over pronation and provide
greater stability and maximum support. Ideal for patients
seeking arch support for the treatment of arch pain.
