There are several reasons why your feet might hurt and a thorough clinical examination and medical history need to be taken in mind before understanding why they do.
Sometimes, foot posture alone may cause back, hip or knee pain before causing foot pain.
That is why your Podiatrist might need to undertake a biomechanical assessment and gait analysis prior to deciding if you need insoles.
If you do need insoles – sometimes called orthotics – a prescription for custom-made ones will be disposed by the Podiatrist, who will order or manufacture the insoles for you and fit them.
Insoles are a great tool to support the feet and reduce pain and discomfort. They also help with stabilizing the foot and supporting the foot’s structure, even if you don’t have foot pain.
