Are Your Feet Causing Your Knee Pain?

A recent study published in in August 2025 found "personalised foot angle modifications helped to improve pain, reduce knee loading, and might slow osteoarthritis progression, making them a promising non-surgical treatment option for some individuals with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis"

The study summary can be found at the following page: www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(25)00151-1/abstract

As podiatrists, we've witnessed the effects that varying foot alignment can have on the knees. This study further supports checking foot alignment when managing chronic knee pain.

Is That Pain Under Your Toes More Than Just a Sore Spot? It Could Be Plantar Plate Damage!

If you’re feeling sharp or throbbing pain near the base of your toe, especially under the ball of your foot, it might be plantar plate pain.

This involves a ligament beneath the toe joint that helps stabilise your toe and foot. When it’s strained or torn, you may notice swelling, discomfort when walking, or even a drifting toe.

People who wear tight shoes or high heels, spend long hours on their feet, or play high-impact sports are at higher risk. If ignored, this condition can lead to chronic pain, deformity, and trouble moving comfortably.

In our latest blog, we explore:

✔️ What the plantar plate is & how damage occurs
✔️ Key symptoms to watch out for
✔️ How experts diagnose the issue
✔️ Treatment paths from conservative care to when surgery becomes necessary
✔️ Tips to protect your feet and prevent recurrence

Don’t brush off forefoot pain, early action can help you stay active and avoid long-term issues.

What's the Difference Between a Store-Bought Arch Support and Custom Orthotics?..

Similar to magnifying lenses from the chemist and optical eye glasses prescribed by an Optometrist, orthotic arch supports can be very basic and generic in nature or very specific when prescribed by a Podiatrist.

Generic, store-bought arch supports offer broad, basic arch support with the ultimate goal being to offer general comfort across a wide user base. Specific modifications like forefoot valgus posting, first MPJ cutouts, medial heel skives and asymmetrical heel corrections to help restore asymmetry cannot be utilised because these are prescription only variables. Chemist bought arches are not tailored to individual feet, their support tends to be very minimal, their ability to address specific foot and leg issues is compromised and their effective lifespan is relatively short.

In contrast, customised prescription orthotics are specifically designed to address abnormal forces causing pain, pathology or impaired foot and leg function. Custom orthotics are made to a scan of the foot and can be accommodated to your particular foot structure, whether the arch is extremely high, extremely low, or somewhere in between. They are especially effective for reducing pain and redistributing load in cases of chronic pain or common musculoskeletal overuse injuries. They are also very effective in helping to restore symmetry of gait which can be very important in addressing pelvic instability, low back pain and postural alignment issues.
