Why Do I Have Foot Pain?

Foot pain often occurs when excessive pressure is placed on specific areas of the foot, known as “peak pressure.” This discomfort is commonly felt in the heel or ball of the foot. Ideally, our body weight should be evenly distributed across the foot when we stand or walk. When this balance is disrupted, certain spots bear too much pressure, leading to pain.

Custom foot orthotics, specially designed shoe inserts, can provide relief. These orthotics work by redistributing body weight more evenly across the foot, reducing peak pressure on specific areas. This not only makes walking and standing more comfortable but also supports the foot’s natural shape, helping to prevent pain and improve overall foot health.
