Treating the inflammation that causes heel pain is part of the solution. Treatment of the mechanical reasons of heel pain is also critical. The inflammation due to the unstable mechanics does not resolve on its own. The best technique to stabilize foot function and address biomechanical instability is with a custom orthotic.
A custom orthotic is a shoe insert manufactured individually for a patient to help the foot perform more efficiently. Your Houston podiatrist will be able to detect mechanical instability and take a neutral mold of your foot after doing a full lower extremity biomechanical exam. To create an appropriate orthotic the mold is adjusted with a customized prescription depending on the evaluation.
The orthotics will be able to avoid a recurrence of plantar fasciitis by identifying the key biomechanical aspects linked with heel discomfort. For a thorough examination, contact DeNiel Foot & Ankle CenterDr. Ejodamen Shobowale. It is past time for your heel discomfort to go away for good.
