Are shoe insoles useful?
Insoles help with a wide variety of foot problems and have an effect on your entire body statics.
They help with flat feet as well as hollow feet, heel spurs or hallux rigidus or even knee pain and burning in the sole of the foot.
Insoles are available in a wide variety of designs and types and are largely covered by your health insurance provider up to 4 times a year (depending on the social insurance provider).
I think insoles are great because they are a small, barely visible aid, but can have a big effect.
For children, insoles are usually only useful from around 6-8 years of age.
Which insoles are available at orthoalpin in Tyrol?
Insoles are available for a wide range of indications and diagnoses.
For example, if you have pain in your heel, perhaps caused by a heel spur, targeted soft bedding in the painful area can quickly relieve the unpleasant pressure and allow you to walk normally on your heel again.
In the case of foot malpositions such as bowed foot, flat foot or splayfoot, an orthopaedic foot orthosis with a muscle-activating (also sensorimotor or proprioceptive) footbed developed by us improves the position of the foot during gait and minimizes further deviation of the foot into the malposition. Activating the foot muscles plays an important role here. This is because the foot skeleton is not only passively straightened, but the foot muscles are also strengthened.
Orthoalpin foot orthoses also offer appropriate stiffening or relief for pain in the metatarsophalangeal joint or painful hallux valgus.
The options are extremely varied and, thanks to excellent materials and a precise foot analysis, we produce a great insole that is tailored to the footwear and provides good support for the user in everyday life.
Do orthoalpin shoe insoles also help with gonarthrosis?
Our foot orthoses can also be a practical aid in reducing pain in the knee joint in cases of osteoarthritis of the knee.
An insole is one of the first steps in gonarthrosis therapy. Together with physiotherapy, the pain is often completely reduced or at least minimized.
If the osteoarthritis of the knee is more advanced, knee braces are also available to provide additional relief to the affected and painful areas of the knee joint.
There are many ways to relieve pain and delay or even avoid a total knee replacement, particularly in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
Our experts will be happy to provide you with extensive advice and show you treatment options.
Insoles and sport - are they compatible?
Are you an athlete, whether recreational or professional, and would you like to improve your performance or avoid pain in your feet and/or knee joints? Then you've come to the right place, because we love sport and spend a lot of time in the mountains. Special insoles for your sport - especially skiing, running, soccer, tennis or mountain walking - are made for you by hand and with a lot of love.
