Common causes of foot pain

Tired feet, aching feet, sore arches, heel pain, soreness in the knees and lower back, pain in the balls of the feet, heel spurs. All of these problems are caused by;

• Walking, standing or running for extended periods of time.

• Faulty biomechanics - poor alignment of the foot, high arches, natural deterioration of the arches and flat feet.

• Shock of continuous activity.

• Improperly fitting footwear.

These problems are signs that your body is working against itself and is not performing at an optimum level.

Solutions

By properly aligning your feet and legs, not only will you alleviate the discomfort, but you improve your bodies efficiency and perform at a higher level. Here are some tips:

• Wear shoes that fit well — front, back, and sides — and have shock-absorbent SOLEs, rigid shanks, and supportive heel counters.

• Wear the proper shoes for each activity.

• Do not wear shoes with excessive wear on heels or soles.

• Prepare properly before exercising.

• Warm up and do stretching exercises before and after running.

• Pace yourself when you participate in athletic activities.

• Don't underestimate your body's need for rest and good nutrition.

• Properly align and support the foot with custom orthotics.

SOLE Approved By American Podiatric Medical Association

Both lines of the SOLE Custom Footbed, the Regular and the Ultra Cushioning version, are approved by the American Podiatric Medical Assocation (APMA).

Founded in 1912, the APMA is the leading professional society for foot and ankle specialists in the United States.

The APMA states:"a functional orthotic device may be prescribed for correcting biomechanical imbalance, controlling excessive pronation, and supporting of the ligaments and tendons attaching to the heel bone. It will effectively treat the majority of heel and arch problems without the need for surgery."

Many of these problems are actually caused by poor quality shoes. For example, shoes that are worn out or poorly designed do not offer support or protection from the shock of activity. The solution is normally to have a cushioning control device custom made by a health care specialist. However, at between $250 and $350, this is an expensive solution and for most people it is not entirely necessary.
