Custom Orthotics, Pre-Made Orthotics and Insoles, What's the Difference?
Many athletes use their custom orthotics in their athletic shoes and turn to premade orthotics and insoles for a change of pace, more cushioning or when their custom orthotics do not fit in their dress or more casual shoes.
Heel Pain causes and treatment
Common causes of heel pain include:
Heel Spurs: A bony growth on the underside of the heel bone. The spur, visible by X-ray, appears as a protrusion that can extend forward as much as half an inch. When there is no indication of bone enlargement, the condition is sometimes referred to as "heel spur syndrome."
Plantar Fasciitis: Both heel pain and heel spurs are frequently associated with plantar fasciitis, an inflammation of the band of fibrous connective tissue (fascia) running along the bottom (plantar surface) of the foot, from the heel to the ball of the foot.
