Martin Van Nostrand asked:
So are Arch Supports the panacea for aches and pains? Maybe not for all that ales you, but they can be a good start. You should always start at the bottom and work your way up.
Arch Supports are not just for arch pain. If you have toe, heel, ankle, shin, knee, or back pain arch supports may be able to relieve your pain by correcting alignment. Often when the arch of your foot is not supported correctly the rest of your foot alignment is disturbed, affecting the alignment in the rest of your body.
Here is a list of Corresponding Conditions and Symptoms that arch supports can aid:
Conditions/Symptoms
Flat Feet / underdeveloped arches
Plantar fasciitis / heel pain (leading to heel spurs) and fatigued arches
Heel Spurs / sharp or burning pain in the heel due to inflammation
Charcot foot / weak and collapsing arches
Metatarsalgia / cramping or burning in the ball of foot area
Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome / shooting pain or numbness on the inside of the ankle and foot
Sever’s disease / affects children: pain felt at the back and side of the heel bone
Corns / a hard or thick spot of skin on the foot
Chondromalacia or Runner’s Knee / aching pain around the kneecap
Calluses / thickening of the skin on the foot
Bunions / enlargement of the joint at the base of the big toe
Shin splints / pain or tenderness inside and below the knee
Toe problems, such as hammertoe or Overlapping/ Underlapping toes - toes are incorrectly aligned
For others conditions that insoles aid by cushioning, see our symptoms and pain list.
*Please note that these are only common causes. Arch supports can only provide pain relief for arch related problems. We do not claim that arch supports cure any condition. The foot has very complex anatomy so there can be many different reasons to explain what is causing your feet to hurt, and some problems can cause more to arise. For this reason, you should always consult a doctor for a correct diagnosis or recommendation for insoles, especially if your pain is severe, worsens, or persists, even with the aid of insoles.
