What is Plantar Fasciitis?

 Plantar Fasciitis is an inflammation caused by excessive stretching of the plantar fascia.

The plantar fascia is a broad band of fibrous tissue which runs along the bottom surface of the foot, attaching at the bottom of the heel bone and extending to the forefoot. When the plantar fascia is excessively stretched, this can cause plantar fasciitis, which can also lead to heel pain, arch pain, and heel spurs.

Causes

Plantar Fasciitis often leads to heel pain, heel spurs, and/or arch pain. The excessive stretching of the plantar fascia that leads to the inflammation and discomfort can be caused by the following:

- Over-pronation (flat feet) which results in the arch collapsing upon weight bearing

- A foot with an unusually high arch

- A sudden increase in physical activity

- Excessive weight on the foot, usually attributed to obesity or pregnancy

- Improperly fitting footwear

- Over-pronation (flat feet) is the leading cause of plantar fasciitis. 

Solutions

A good custom made insoles with flexible arch support and rearfoot posting is an effective device to reduce the over-pronation and allow the condition to heal.

WHAT IS THE BEST INSOLE FOR PLANTAR FASCIITIS:

THE 4 FEATURES A PLANTAR FASCIITIS INSOLE MUST HAVE TO BE EFFECTIVE

1. CUSTOM MADE ARCH SUPPORT

Custom made Arch support is important for any plantar fasciitis insole as it lessens the foot pain that you feel when walking and standing for long periods. Arch support provides stability, helps you maintain balance, and distributes pressure across your feet. 

2. SHOCK ABSORPTION 

One of the best features of a plantar fasciitis insole is shock absorption. A good insole is designed to minimize the amount of stress you put on your plantar fascia and joints. 

3. PROPERLY ALIGNED HEEL CUSHION

The soft cushioning of an insole is one of the factors that determine the level of comfort and support that is provided. 

4. FIT YOUR SHOE CORRECTLY

You should always make sure the insoles you purchase fit your shoes correctly. Your heels should not slip, and the insole should fit comfortably.
