Why Are My Feet Still PainfulIf I Am Wearing My Orthotics?

​When it comes to foot pain, the effectiveness of treatment depends on your specific diagnosis. While custom foot orthotics can provide relief by redistributing pressure away from painful areas—much like a snowshoe spreads body weight over a larger surface—they may not fully resolve pain caused by long-standing issues such as scar tissue or compensatory problems.

Some conditions require additional therapies to address inflammation and promote healing in the painful tissues of the foot. Two effective modalities we offer are Cold Laser Therapy and Shockwave Therapy:

Cold Laser Therapy: This treatment uses light therapy to stimulate microcirculation around the tissues, increasing blood flow, enhancing cellular regeneration, and improving oxygen consumption.

Shockwave Therapy: This involves high-intensity sound waves targeted at chronic pain (lasting over six months) to promote healing and reduce discomfort.

A crucial rule to remember: Never invest in custom foot orthotics without fully understanding your diagnosis. Orthotics can be a powerful tool, but they work best as part of a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific condition.
