| Foot Pain and Foot Orthoses
There are many reasons and causes for foot pain. The most important element of treating foot pain is to understand the exact nature of the pain and its underlying causes. Once this has been identified then an effective treatment plan can be devised.
This will often include self help measures such as simple physiotherapy techniques at home as well as footwear and exercise advice. In certain cases the use of insoles and foot orthoses to change the weight distribution in the foot and leg would be recommended. Wherever possible we try and use ‘off the shelf devices’, which are extremely practical and reasonably priced. Occasionally it is necessary to have prescription orthoses which are more costly. The reasons for any individual prescription will always be discussed before treatment is embarked upon.
