Custom orthotics provide the comfort and support you need to relieve heel pain. Dr. Brian Gale at Dakota Foot & Ankle Clinic in Bismarck, ND, provides a full range of podiatry services, including custom orthotics to relieve heel pain.

How Custom Orthotics Can Help With Heel Pain

There are many causes of heel pain, including Achilles tendon problems, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, being overweight, or a heel injury. Custom orthotics can help with mild to severe heel pain. They are an effective, inexpensive, non-invasive way to support and cushion your heels. Custom orthotics can absorb the shock of standing and walking, so your feet and heels don’t experience the stress.

Custom orthotics are designed for each individual foot. They are a popular choice for heel pain because they:

• Cushion your heels, to help prevent trauma
• Support your heels, to aid in foot alignment
• Correct gait issues, to protect your heels
• Correct poor posture, to help relieve stress on your heels

Custom orthotics are an excellent investment because they provide long-term relief from heel pain. Unlike heel wedges, custom orthotics are created to last for 2 to 3 years on average, depending on how often you wear them.

They are also prescribed medical devices, which allows them to be covered by most insurance as a treatment for foot issues, including heel pain.
