Remember growing pains?<\/h2>\n
I would liken this phenomenon to the growing pains that occur in adolescence. As the foot elongates it creates a passive and active strain on the ligaments, tendons, and muscles in the foot that often leads to some of the more common conditions that present here in our office. These conditions include plantar fasciitis<\/a>, Achilles tendonitis<\/a>, other tendon issues in the foot, as well as bunions<\/a> and neuromas<\/a>.<\/p>\n The best thing to do is to get custom insoles to support your foot during this transitional phase of life. These orthotics are streamlined, and thin and will allow you to continue to wear fashionable shoes while having the support that you need. We take a cast of your foot and then send it to a lab to pour a plaster mold and have essentially a \u201cbust\u201d of your foot. Then, they design the orthotic specific to that shape.<\/p>\n This orthotic is made of a thin, graphite, composite that holds up for anywhere between 7 to 10 years. For most patients, this is an integral portion of their treatment protocol, and we are able to create a custom product at an affordable price. We also have new regenerative medicine therapies that combined with custom orthotics, can help people get back to their normal activities much faster than other treatments before.<\/p>\n Q: How often should I measure my feet?<\/strong> Q: Can foot size changes cause pain?<\/strong> Q: What type of shoes are best if my feet are changing size?<\/strong> At Anderson Podiatry Center, we\u2019re here to help you understand these changes and provide solutions, whether it\u2019s recommending the right footwear, custom orthotics, or treatment for an underlying condition.<\/p>\n Your feet are the foundation of your body, and taking care of them is essential for staying active and pain-free.
