When I wake up in the morning or after sitting for a long time the bottoms of my feet and inside of my heels are sore then after 15 minutes it gets a little better. Can these help?
A. These are classic signs of plantar fascitis, an ailment caused by abnormal tension and twisting of the strong ligaments in the bottom of the feet. As they twist, they pull on the bones (especially the heel bone) to which they attach causing pain. (Due to periostitis) The ligaments shorten when not used for a while, so they are extremely tight and painful with your first steps after sleeping or sitting for a long time. Our orthotics reposition these bones and ligaments, reducing the cause of pain, and with time they help to correct the problem.
