Custom made Orthotics Northampton
Orthotics for Severe Heel Pain and Fallen Arches.
Heel pain can be very painful especially first thing in the morning. You may feel a stabbing feeling on putting your foot to the ground. This is called plantar fasciitis, pronounced
fash-e-i-tis
There are many other causes of heel pain so you will need see a Podiatrist to get the right diagnoses. Some other causes are Policemans Heel which is a subcalcaneal bursitis, problems with the Achilles Tendon, fracture or bruising of the heel bone (calcaneus) and many more.
Fallen arches, pain in the ball of the foot, arch pain in the feet, pain on the outside of your foot and corns and callus can be treated with orthotics or arch supports.
Mum's can usually see that their child is walking strangely with pin toes (intoeing), knock knees, flat feet or out-toeing and these can also be corrected with orthotics.

Custom made orthotics in Northampton
Orthotics, Orthopaedic Insoles,
Arch Supports.
They are known by many names but do the same job.
Orthotics
You may just need a pair of orthotics. These will be made specifically for you as no one is the same. We can take a template and get them sent off to be made the same day.
Steroid Injection
We can offer you a corticosteroid injection at your appointment which is a potent anti-inflammatory. You may also receive a long lasting local anaesthetic if you have trouble weight-bearing.
Surgery
If all other treatments have been exhausted you may require surgery but this is not common.
