Heel pain is one of the most common foot complaints often caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, or Achilles tendinopathy. Custom Orthotics can play a key role in reducing pain and promoting long-term recovery. You can book to be assessed today via www.shropshirephysiotherapy.co.uk

🔍 How Orthotics Help:

Reduce Pressure on the Heel
By redistributing weight across the foot, orthotics ease stress on the heel bone and surrounding tissues.

Support the Arch
Proper arch support helps reduce tension on the plantar fascia the band of tissue connecting the heel to the toes which is often the root cause of heel pain.

Improve Foot Alignment
Orthotics correct biomechanical issues such as overpronation (rolling the foot inwards), which can strain the heel and cause pain.

Shock Absorption
Materials like gel or EVA foam absorb impact forces from walking or running, lessening the load on the heel.

Aid Recovery and Prevent Recurrence
With consistent use, orthotics can support healing and help prevent the return of symptoms by maintaining optimal foot mechanics.

Orthotics can be really helpful for managing knee pain, especially when the discomfort is linked to alignment, movement patterns, or load distribution. Here are the main benefits of orthotics for knee pain:

1. Improved Alignment
• Custom orthotics can correct foot and ankle positioning, which in turn helps align the knees and hips.
• This reduces stress on the knee joint, particularly for people with flat feet, overpronation, or knock-knees.

2. Reduced Joint Stress
• By redistributing pressure across the foot, orthotics can reduce excessive load on the knee joint.
• This is especially useful for conditions like osteoarthritis in the knee, where reducing impact and uneven wear matters.

3. Pain Relief
• Supporting proper biomechanics can decrease irritation in the knee structures (ligaments, cartilage, tendons).
• Orthotics often reduce pain linked to patellofemoral pain syndrome, runner’s knee, or IT band issues.

4. Enhanced Shock Absorption
• Orthotics with cushioning help absorb ground reaction forces during walking, running, or standing for long periods.
• This reduces the repetitive impact that contributes to knee pain.

5. Improved Function & Performance
• By supporting stable movement patterns, orthotics can make walking, running, or standing more comfortable.
• Athletes may notice improved efficiency and reduced fatigue in the lower body.

6. Injury Prevention
• Correcting poor foot mechanics lowers the risk of secondary problems in the knees, hips, and even lower back.
• They can prevent compensatory movements that worsen pain over time.

They’re most effective when knee pain is linked to poor foot mechanics. If pain is caused by other issues (like ligament injury or advanced arthritis), orthotics may only play a supportive role alongside physio or strength work.

At Shropshire Physiotherapy we are extremely lucky to have Tecar machine. Tecar is a great way of managing Osteoarthritic (OA) pain.

Here are the benefits of TECAR therapy for OA knee:

🔹 Pain Relief

Reduces knee pain by increasing blood flow, improving oxygen supply, and stimulating endorphin release.

Helps modulate nociceptive pathways, decreasing chronic pain sensitivity.

🔹 Improved Joint Mobility

Deep heat relaxes periarticular muscles and reduces stiffness.

Promotes synovial fluid production, improving lubrication in the knee joint.

🔹 Anti-inflammatory Effects

Enhances lymphatic drainage and reduces swelling in the knee.

Improves circulation, aiding in the removal of inflammatory by-products.

🔹 Tissue Regeneration & Healing

Stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis.

Accelerates recovery of periarticular soft tissues (capsule, ligaments, tendons).

🔹 Non-invasive & Well-tolerated

Comfortable and painless treatment compared to some other modalities.

Safe for most patients, with no need for medication or injections.

🔹 Enhanced Function & Quality of Life

Allows patients to return to activities with reduced discomfort.

Often combined with exercise therapy to improve walking, squatting, and stair climbing.
